Protease-mediated activation of Par2 elicits calcium waves during zebrafish egg activation and blastomere cleavage.

Successful initiation of animal development requires activation of the egg immediately prior to fusion of gamete pronuclei. In all taxa, this is initiated by waves of calcium transients which transverse across the egg. Calcium waves also occur at cleavage furrows during later blastula cytokinesis. C...
