Tandem-Repeated Zebrafish zp3 Genes Possess Oocyte-Specific Promoters and Are Insensitive to Estrogen Induction1
16 Feb 2006
Abstract excerpt
Zona pellucida (Zp) proteins are glycoproteins in fish chorion and are encoded by multiple gene families, including zp1, zp2, zp3, and potentially other zp genes. Expression of zp genes in teleosts is either in the liver under the induction of estrogen or in the ovaries. In the present study, we isolated and characterized a zebrafish zp3 genomic clone and found three tandem-repeated zp3 genes with high sequence...
