Human Growth Differentiation Factor 9 (GDF-9) and Its Novel Homolog GDF-9B Are Expressed in Oocytes during Early Folliculogenesis

1999-08-01

Abstract excerpt

Growth differentiation factor 9 (GDF-9) is a transforming growth factor-beta family member that is required for normal folliculogenesis in female mice, but its role as a regulator of human fertility is still unclear. We determined here by in situ hybridization and immunohistochemical analyses the localization of the GDF-9 messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) and protein during human folliculogenesis. The GDF-9 transc...
