Chloride permeability of sea urchin eggs.
We have examined the content and permeability of chloride in sea urchin eggs. After fertilization there is a large increase in the permeability to chloride. We discuss the mechanism underlying this permeability change and the generalized increase in ion permeability observed after fertilization.
