TMCO1 is essential for ovarian follicle development by regulating ER Ca2+ store of granulosa cells
21 Feb 2018
Abstract excerpt
TMCO1 (transmembrane and coiled-coil domains 1) is an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) transmembrane protein that actively prevents Ca 2+ stores from overfilling. To characterize its physiological function(s), we generated Tmco1 −/− knockout (KO) mice. In addition to the main clinical features of human cerebrofaciothoracic (CFT) dysplasia spectrum, Tmco1 −/− females manifest gradual loss of ovarian follicles, impaired...
