BRCA1 Is Required for Meiotic Spindle Assembly and Spindle Assembly Checkpoint Activation in Mouse Oocytes1
3 Jul 2008
Abstract excerpt
BRCA1 as a tumor suppressor has been widely investigated in mitosis, but its functions in meiosis are unclear. In the present study, we examined the expression, localization, and function of BRCA1 during mouse oocyte meiotic maturation. We found that expression level of BRCA1 was increased progressively from germinal vesicle to metaphase I stage, and then remained stable until metaphase II stage....
