Abstract excerpt
Kit is a receptor tyrosine kinase that plays a fundamental role during the development of germ cells. Additionally, a truncated product, tr-kit, expressed in haploid spermatids and mature spermatozoa can induce parthenogenetic activation when microinjected into mouse eggs, through the activation of PLCgamma-1. In this work, we induced ectopic expression of a mutated Kit protein, Kit(D814Y) during germ cell...
