Ionic mechanism of the fertilization potential of the marine worm, Urechis caupo (Echiura)
Microelectrode and tracer flux studies of the Urechis egg during fertilization have shown: (a) insemination causes a fertilization potential; the membrane potential rises from an initial level of -33 +/- 6 mV to a peak at +51 +/- 6 mV (n = 16), falls to a plateau of about +30 mV, then returns to the...
