Abstract excerpt
The effects of depleting a maternal cytokeratin mRNA on the developing embryo are described. Cytokeratins are members of the intermediate filament family of cytoskeletal proteins, and are expressed in a cortical network of the superficial cytoplasm of the oocyte. After fertilisation, a new cortic...
