1 Sept 2001
Abstract excerpt
The proto-oncogene receptor, c-kit, and its ligand have been demonstrated to be essential to the processes of germ cell migration, proliferation and survival in the rodent. The aim of the present study was to investigate the expression of c-kit mRNA and protein in human fetal ovary and testis across the gestational period 13-21 weeks.
