Activation of NF-κB Protein Prevents the Transition from Juvenile Ovary to Testis and Promotes Ovarian Development in Zebrafish
18 Sept 2012
Abstract excerpt
Testis differentiation in zebrafish involves juvenile ovary to testis transformation initiated by an apoptotic wave. The molecular regulation of this transformation process is not fully understood. NF-κB is activated at an early stage of development and has been shown to interact with steroidogenic factor-1 in mammals, leading to the suppression of anti-Müllerian hormone (Amh) gene expression. Because...
