Hormonal regulation of expression of growth differentiation factor-9 receptor type I and II genes in the bovine ovarian follicle
1 Mar 2006
Abstract excerpt
Growth differentiation factor-9 (GDF-9) and bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are crucial factors in follicular growth and development. GDF-9 and BMPs initiate signaling by assembling type I (ALK-3, ALK-5 and ALK-6) and type II (BMPRII) receptors. However, the mechanism regulating the expression of these receptors in the process of bovine follicle development is still unknown. The aim of the present study was to...
