Maternally-derived zinc transporters ZIP6 and ZIP10 drive the mammalian oocyte-to-egg transition
20 Aug 2014
Abstract excerpt
Rapid cellular zinc influx regulates early mammalian development during the oocyte-to-egg transition through modulation of the meiotic cell cycle. Despite the physiological necessity of this zinc influx, the molecular mechanisms that govern such accumulation are unknown. Here we show that the fully grown mammalian oocyte does not employ a transcriptionally based mechanism of zinc regulation involving metal...
