Two distinct types of theca cells in the medaka gonad: Germ cell‐dependent maintenance of <i>cyp19a1</i>‐expressing theca cells
24 Aug 2009
Abstract excerpt
Aromatase is a steroidogenic enzyme catalyzing the production of estrogens and is important for the proper development and function of the reproductive system. The lineage of cyp19a1 (ovarian-type aromatase)-expressing cells in the developing gonad was analyzed using a transgenic medaka (Oryzias latipes) that recapitulates endogenous cyp19a1 expression with EGFP fluorescence. Our results show that...
