KIT/KIT Ligand in Mammalian Oogenesis and Folliculogenesis: Roles in Rabbit and Murine Ovarian Follicle Activation and Oocyte Growth1

22 Jun 2006

Abstract excerpt

In rodent ovaries Kit ligand (KITL) and its receptor KIT have diverse roles, including the promotion of primordial follicle activation, oocyte growth, and follicle survival. Studies were undertaken to determine whether KITL and KIT carry out similar activities in rabbits. KitlandKitmRNA and protein were localized to oocytes and granulosa cells, respectively, in the rabbit ovary. Ovarian cortical explants from...
