Calcium plays a prominent role during fertilization in many animals. This review focuses on roles of Ca(2+) during the events around fertilization in the model organism, Caenorhabditis elegans. Specifically, the role of Ca(2+) in sperm, oocytes and the surrounding somatic tissues during fertilization will be discussed, with the focus on sperm activation, meiotic maturation of oocytes, ovulation, sperm-egg interaction and fertilization.
钙在许多动物的受精过程中起着重要作用。本综述重点介绍了模式生物秀丽隐杆线虫受精过程中周围事件中 Ca(2+)的作用。具体来说，将讨论受精过程中精子、卵子和周围体细胞中 Ca(2+)的作用，重点讨论精子激活、卵子减数分裂成熟、排卵、精子-卵子相互作用和受精。
