Evolution of 2 reproductive proteins, ZP3 and PKDREJ, in cetaceans.

The Journal of heredity - 1 Jan 2000

Amaral Ana R, Möller Luciana M, Beheregaray Luciano B, Coelho M Manuela

Abstract excerpt

The rapid evolution of proteins involved in reproduction has been documented in several animal taxa. This is thought to be the result of forces involved in sexual selection and is expected to be particularly strong in promiscuous mating systems. In this study, a range of cetacean species were used to analyze the patterns of evolution in 2 reproductive proteins involved in fertilization: the zona pellucida 3...
