Progesterone receptor membrane component 1 expression and putative function in bovine oocyte maturation, fertilization, and early embryonic development
25 Aug 2010
Abstract excerpt
Although the mRNA that encodes progesterone receptor membrane component 1 (PGRMC1) is present in mammalian oocytes, nothing is known about either PGRMC1's expression pattern or function in oocytes during maturation, fertilization, and subsequent embryonic development. As PGRMC1 associates with the mitotic spindle in somatic cells, we hypothesized that PGRMC1 is involved in oocyte maturation (meiosis). Western...
