The role of Ca2+ ions in the formation of the
fertilization envelope and blocking polyspermy can be further
studied using Ca2+ channel blockers. As their name
suggests, Ca2+ channel blockers block the movement of
Ca2+ ions through channels. In the case of gated
Ca2+ channels, the channel blockers prevent the channels
from opening even if the signal to open is present.
