Ca+ and its role in membrane fusion


Marconis

Recommended Posts

This isn't a homework question, I am just curious. With both fertilization and chemical synaptic transmission, I have learned that Ca+ causes a fusion of corticle granule and synpatic vesicles, respectively, to the plasma membrane. My textbook never states why, nor has my professor. I am confused as to how Ca+ induces such an instance. Could anyone give me some things to think about?

 

Thanks.
