Abstract excerpt
The c-mos proto-oncogene encodes a 37-39K cytoplasmic serine/threonine kinase implicated in the meiotic maturation events during murine spermatogenesis and oogenesis. In Xenopus, ectopic expression of pp39mos can promote both the meiotic maturation of oocytes and also arrest the cleavage of blastomeres. To elucidate the role of pp39mos we have generated homozygous mutant mice by gene targeting in embryonic stem...
