Oocyte activation agents include calcium ionophore [Hoshi et al. 1992], electrostimulation [Yanagida et al. 1999], and strontium [Yanagida et al. 2006]. Such adjunct treatments help to activate the oocyte by increasing the Ca2+ permeability of the cell membrane, thereby letting extracellular Ca2...

Accordingly, pre-treating HUVEC with the Ca2+-ionophore ionomycin promotes calmodulin (CaM) binding to the COOH-terminal tail of Tie2, which results in receptor dephosphorylation and aberrant in vivo angiogenesis [218]. Future work will have to challenge the hypothesis that the Ca2+-dependent ...
