~~Egg Lysin, a protein from abalone sperm, creates a hole in the envelope of the egg, permitting the sperm to pass through the envelope and fuse with the egg.~~

~~== Relevance ==~~

'''Lysin''' (Lys) is a protein which cleaves cell walls. Egg Lysin, a protein from abalone sperm, creates a hole in the envelope of the egg, permitting the sperm to pass through the envelope and fuse with the egg.
