Abstract excerpt
We previously described two isoforms (MOVO-A and -B) of a novel zinc finger protein MOVO, a mouse homologue of Drosophila Ovo protein. Here, we isolated cDNA encoding the third isoform MOVO-C, which had a transactivation domain and zinc finger domain, but lacked an N-terminal potential repression domain that was present in MOVO-A. Three isoform mRNAs were expressed highly in mouse testis and also in the ovary at...
