Planteome: Term Details for "cortical granule exocytosis" (GO:0060471)

Accession: GO:0060471
Name: cortical granule exocytosis
Ontology: biological_process
Synonyms: cortical granule release, cortical reaction
Alternate IDs: None
Definition: The process of secretion by a cell that results in the release of intracellular molecules contained within a cortical granule by fusion of the vesicle with the plasma membrane of a cell. A cortical granule is a specialized secretory vesicle that is released during egg activation that changes the surface of the egg to prevent polyspermy. Source: GOC:dph
