Spatial Expression Patterns of Activin and Its Signaling System in the Zebrafish Ovarian Follicle: Evidence for Paracrine Action of Activin on the Oocytes1
1 Dec 2003
Abstract excerpt
We have previously demonstrated that activin is likely an ovarian mediator of pituitary gonadotropin(s) and local epidermal growth factor in their stimulating oocyte maturation and maturational competence in the zebrafish. However, the downstream events controlled by activin remain unknown. One possible mechanism is that activin may directly work on the oocytes to promote the development of oocyte maturational...
