Profilin and actin-related proteins regulate microfilament dynamics during early mammalian embryogenesis
20 Jan 2006
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Profilins are ubiquitous proteins widely distributed in animals, including humans. They regulate actin polymerization by sequestering actin monomers in association with other actin-related proteins (Arps). Actin remodelling is essential for oocyte maturation, fertilization and embryo development; yet the role of profilins in these events is not well understood. Here we investigate profilin...
