Retinoic Acid Receptor α Gene Expression in the Rat Testis: Potential Role during the Prophase of Meiosis and in the Transition from Round to Elongating Spermatids
1 Feb 1997
Abstract excerpt
Mutational studies have identified retinoic acid receptor alpha (RAR alpha) as having an essential role in spermatogenesis. The objective of this study was to determine which cells express RAR alpha within the normal rat testis by conducting in situ analyses for mRNA and protein. Characterization of RAR alpha expression revealed the time and location of the vitamin A requirement during spermatogenesis. In situ...
