Abstract excerpt
rck/p54 is a DEAD-box RNA helicase protein with ATP-dependent RNA-unwinding activity. Its ortholog is required for sexual reproduction in yeast and for oocyte survival and sperm fertility in Caenorhabditis elegans. In the current study, we investigated the expression of rck/p54 in mouse gametogenesis and early embryogenesis. Western blot analysis revealed that rck/p54 was highly expressed in both the ovary and...
