Embryonic poly(A)-binding protein is required at the preantral stage of mouse folliculogenesis for oocyte–somatic communication†
1 Feb 2017
Abstract excerpt
Embryonic poly(A)-binding protein (EPAB)-deficient mice are infertile due to defects in both the oocyte and the somatic cells of the ovary. Since EPAB is oocyte specific, the abnormalities in the somatic compartment of Epab−/− mice are likely due to factors inherent to the oocyte. Herein, we investigated whether oocyte–somatic communication is disrupted as a result of EPAB deficiency. We found that gap junctions...
