Inositol triphosphate (IP3) is a second messenger released from phosphatidyl inositol bisphosphate (PIP) by phospholipase C, and binds to and activates a calcium channel in the endoplasmic reticulum, releasing a wave of Ca++ that spreads across the ovum. Calcium ion stimlates the release of cortical granules to the perivitelline space, which widens as a slow block to polyspermy and deactivates bindin receptors.
