Phospholipase A 2 (PLA 2 ), its localization on human sperm and its involvement in sperm-egg interaction, was investigated. Sperm-egg interaction was examined using an in vitro assay of the interaction between human sperm and zona-free or zona-intact hamster egg. PLA 2specific antibodies and/or lyso
## Abstract Mouse egg activation, which includes release from meiotic metaphase II arrest, results from fertilizationβinduced increase in intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca^2+^]~i~). However, during egg activation caused by exposure to the protein synthesis inhibitor, cycloheximide, [Ca^2+^]~
## Abstract Mammalian sperm possess guanine nucleotideβbinding regulatory proteins (G proteins) that are involved in signal transduction pathways leading to __zona pellucida__ (ZP)βmediated acrosomal exocytosis. We have previously examined ZPβG protein dynamics in mouse sperm homogenates, as well a
