1 Jul 2004
Abstract excerpt
Growth differentiation factor 9 (GDF9) is an oocyte-expressed member of the transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) superfamily and is required for normal ovarian follicle development and female fertility. GDF9 acts as a paracrine factor and affects granulosa cell physiology. Only a few genes regulated by GDF9 are known. Our microarray analysis has identified gremlin as one of the genes up-regulated by GDF9 in...
