MicroRNA-26b Functions as a Proapoptotic Factor in Porcine Follicular Granulosa Cells by Targeting Sma-and Mad-Related Protein 41
14 Nov 2014
Abstract excerpt
Sma- and Mad-related protein 4 (SMAD4) is the central mediator of the transforming growth factor beta signaling pathway and is closely related to mammalian reproductive ability and the development of ovarian follicles. However, little is currently known about the role of SMAD4 in mammalian follicular granulosa cell (GC) apoptosis or its regulation by miRNAs. Here, we found that the porcine SMAD4 protein was...
