Kit ligand and c-Kit have diverse roles during mammalian oogenesis and folliculogenesis

1 Feb 2006

Abstract excerpt

Paracrine signalling between the oocyte and its surrounding somatic cells is fundamental to the processes of oogenesis and folliculogenesis in mammals. The study of animal models has revealed that the interaction of granulosa cell-derived kit ligand (KL) with oocyte and theca cell-derived c-Kit is important for multiple aspects of oocyte and follicle development, including the establishment of primordial germ...
