PLC zeta: a sperm-specific trigger of Ca(2+) oscillations in eggs and embryo development.
Upon fertilisation by sperm, mammalian eggs are activated by a series of intracellular Ca(2+) oscillations that are essential for embryo development. The mechanism by which sperm induces this complex signalling phenomenon is unknown. One proposal is that the sperm introduces an exclusive cytosolic f...
