Cloning of Transforming Growth Factor-β1 (TGF-β1) and Its Type II Receptor from Zebrafish Ovary and Role of TGF-β1 in Oocyte Maturation
15 Apr 2003
Abstract excerpt
TGF-beta is a multifunctional factor involved in regulating a variety of cellular activities. In mammals, TGF-beta is known to regulate reproduction, including ovarian functions. The role of TGF-beta in lower vertebrates, such as fish, is poorly understood. To examine the role of TGF-beta in fish reproduction, cDNAs encoding TGF-beta 1 and the type II TGF-beta receptor (T beta RII) were cloned from the zebrafish...
