Oocyte activation, phospholipase C zeta and human infertility.

Oocyte activation, phospholipase C zeta and human infertility.

BACKGROUND: Mammalian oocytes are activated by intracellular calcium (Ca(2+)) oscillations following gamete fusion. Recent evidence implicates a sperm-specific phospholipase C zeta, PLCζ, which is introduced into the oocyte following membrane fusion, as the responsible factor. This review summarizes...
