Mechanisms leading to cortical reaction in the mammalian egg.

abstract：:Tektins are microtubule-associated cytoskeletal proteins that are expressed primarily in the male germ cell-lineage in centrioles and basal bodies and within ciliary and flagellar doublet microtubules. They are proposed to be important for axonemal architecture and microtubule stability in the sperm tail and in other ...
