Abstract excerpt
Obox6 is a member of the Obox (oocyte-specific homeobox) gene family. The Obox6 gene was isolated from the mouse two-cell embryonic cDNA library. Using reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction analysis, we found Obox6 is expressed exclusively in early embryonic stages and exhibits an elevated expression from the two-cell stage to the morula stage. The gene is thought to be involved in early embryogenesis....
