Mechanisms of oocyte activation in the presence and absence of PLCζ
Mammalian oocyte activation is thought to be caused by a sperm borne PLC subtype, called phospholipase C zeta1 (PLCζ). PLCζ RNA and protein microinjection and knockout studies in a mouse model have confirmed its primary role in releasing calcium (Ca2+) in the oocyte at fertilisation. Studies reveale...
