Fetal Testis Dysgenesis and Compromised Leydig Cell Function in Tgfbr3 (Betaglycan) Knockout Mice1
21 Aug 2009
Abstract excerpt
Betaglycan (Tgfbr3) is a coreceptor for transforming growth factor-beta (TGFB) superfamily ligands. In the current study, a defect in seminiferous cord formation was detected in 12.5-13.5 days postcoitum (dpc) beta glycan null murine testis. Immunohistochemistry with antibodies against cell-specific markers revealed defects in somatic cell populations. To confirm these data, quantitative real-time PCR was...
