Abstract
JGP study (Komondor et al. 2023. J. Gen. Physiol. https://doi.org/10.1085/jgp.202213258) reveals that conventional PLC activation pathways are not required for the fertilization-induced depolarization of Xenopus eggs that prevents the entry of additional sperm.
期刊介绍:
General physiology is the study of biological mechanisms through analytical investigations, which decipher the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying biological function at all levels of organization.
The mission of Journal of General Physiology (JGP) is to publish mechanistic and quantitative molecular and cellular physiology of the highest quality, to provide a best-in-class author experience, and to nurture future generations of independent researchers. The major emphasis is on physiological problems at the cellular and molecular level.
