Distribution of co-activators CBP and p300 during mouse oocyte and embryo development.

abstract：:The sequence of ionic changes involved in initiation of acrosomal exocytosis in capacitated mouse spermatozoa was investigated. Earlier studies demonstrated that a large influx of Na+ is required for exocytosis, this Na+ apparently being associated with an increase in intracellular pH (pHi) via an Na(+)-H+ exchanger. ...
