Association between spindle assembly checkpoint expression and maternal age in human oocytes
1 Jan 2001
Abstract excerpt
The spindle assembly checkpoint modulates the timing of anaphase initiation in response to the improper alignment of chromosomes at the metaphase plate. If defects are detected, a signal is transduced to halt further progression of the cell cycle until correct bipolar attachment to the spindle is achieved. The mitotic arrest deficient (MAD2) and budding uninhibited by benomyl (BUB1) genes encode conserved...
