Electrical properties of vertebrate oocyte membranes
Biology of Reproduction
|February 1, 1984
Abstract:
The electrical properties of vertebrate oocyte and egg cell membranes are reviewed. Ion channels of these oocytes generate transcellular currents and action potentials as well as responses to neurotransmitters. Electrical properties change during meiotic maturation and fertilization. Available information about the electrical properties of sperm is also discussed.
