HCO3(-)/Cl(-) exchange inactivation and reactivation during mouse oocyte meiosis correlates with MEK/MAPK-regulated Ae2 plasma membrane localization.

BACKGROUND:Germinal Vesicle (GV) stage mouse oocytes in first meiotic prophase exhibit highly active HCO(3)(-)/Cl(-) exchange--a class of transport nearly ubiquitously involved in regulation of intracellular pH and cell volume. During meiosis, however, oocyte HCO(3)(-)/Cl(-) exchange becomes inactiv...
