Metal Ion Fluxes Controlling Amphibian Fertilization
Mammalian oocytes undergo major changes in zinc content and localization in order to be fertilized, the most striking being the rapid exocytosis of over ten billion zinc ions, known as zinc sparks. Here we report that fertilization of amphibian Xenopus laevis eggs also initiates a zinc spark that pr...
