#Unit 5. Developmental Biology

Resact from Arbacia egg jelly binds to its receptor on the sperm, activates the receptor’s guanylyl cyclase (RGC) activity.

#Unit 5. Developmental Biology

Active guanylyl cyclase causes the sperm cell to produce more cGMP, that activates a calcium channel in the cell membrane of the sperm tail.
