Title: Periodic change in the content of adenosine 3′5′-cyclic monophosphate with close relation to the cycle of cleavage in the sea urchin egg
Abstract: The content of adenosine 3′5′-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) in sea urchin eggs, Hemicentrotus pulcherrimus, increased gradually after fertilization to about 10-fold that in unfertilized egg, and decreased rapidly during cytokinesis of the egg to the level found in unfertilized egg. The same profile of the change in cAMP content as found during first cleavage, was also observed during second and third cleavage. The periodic change in cAMP content in the sea urchin egg seems to be repeated with close relation to the cycle of cytokinesis.
