Abstract excerpt
Mutations within the ovarian tumor (otu) gene result in abnormal ovarian development. It has been proposed that otu phenotypes result from abnormal germ cell division and differentiation. To understand better what role otu performs in oogenesis we have undertaken an analysis of protein expression...
