| description | The sperm activates the egg to begin developing into an embryo by triggering a wave of intracellular calcium release, which sweeps across the egg like a forest fire. The identity of the signaling molecules that mediate this fundamental event has remained a mystery until recently. Now, new information emerging from the genome projects has made it possible to isolate and characterize the proteins responsible. |
