'''Hyalin''' is a [[protein]] released from the [[cortical granule]]s of a [[fertilization|fertilized]] animal [[Egg (biology)|egg]]. The released hyalin modifies the [[extracellular matrix]] of the fertilized egg to block other sperm from binding to the egg, and is known as the slow-block to [[polyspermy]]. All animals have this slow-block mechanism.
