Abstract

It has become clear that the preimplantation embryo possesses a number of rapidly developing and sometimes unique systems for transmembrane transport. For example, mouse embryos possess amino acid transport systems that change from one set to a different set, found only in embryos, over the course of only a few days’ development (1); excitable calcium channels are found in abundance in the early mouse and hamster embryo, but disappear completely by the 16-cell stage (2–4); and Na+ transport into the rabbit blastocoel is completely altered between the 5th and 7th day of development, with the development of amiloride and furosemide sensitivity (5, 6).
