Accelerated Ovarian Aging in the Absence of the Transcription Regulator TAF4B in Mice1
15 Aug 2009
Abstract excerpt
The mammalian ovary is unique in that its reproductive life span is limited by oocyte quantity and quality. Oocytes are recruited from a finite pool of primordial follicles that are usually exhausted from the ovary during midadult life. If regulation of this pool is perturbed, the reproductive capacity of the ovary is compromised. TAF4B is a gonad-enriched subunit of the TFIID complex required for female...
