Abstract excerpt
The high-temperature requirement factor A (HtrA) family of serine proteases is evolutionarily conserved from bacteria to mammals. We have previously identified Htra3 in the mouse and human (HTRA3) and reported its expression in the ovary. In this study, we analyzed the rat Htra3 gene and determined its developmental regulation in the rat ovary. We localized the rat Htra3 gene on chromosome 14q21 and identified...
