Maternally Inherited npm2 mRNA Is Crucial for Egg Developmental Competence in Zebrafish1
10 Jul 2014
Abstract excerpt
The molecular mechanisms underlying and determining egg developmental competence remain poorly understood in vertebrates. Nucleoplasmin (Npm2) is one of the few known maternal effect genes in mammals, but this maternal effect has never been demonstrated in nonmammalian species. A link between developmental competence and the abundance of npm2 maternal mRNA in the egg was previously established using a teleost...
