Adamts9 is necessary for ovarian development in zebrafish
Roach, Zachary Adam (East Carolina University, 2020-05-04)Expression of adamts9 (A disintegrin and metalloprotease with thrombospondin type-1 motif, member 9) increases dramatically in the somatic cells surrounding oocytes during ovulation in vertebrates from zebrafish to human. ... -
ADAMTS9 IS NECESSARY FOR THE SEXUAL DEVELOPMENT OF FEMALE ZEBRAFISH
Carter, Nichole J. (East Carolina University, 2018-12-10)The ovary is a unique organ as it must cyclically alter its structure to accommodate the growth, development, and release of oocytes. The processes of oogenesis and ovulation requires structural modifications made to the ... -
Progestin and Nuclear Progestin Receptor Are Essential for Upregulation of Metalloproteinase in Zebrafish Preovulatory Follicles
Liu, Dong Teng; Carter, Nichole J.; Wu, Xin Jun; Hong, Wan Shu; Chen, Shi Xi; Zhu, Yong (2018-09-18)Ovulation requires proteinases to promote the rupture of ovarian follicles. However, the identity of these proteinases remains unclear. In our previous studies using RNA-seq analysis of differential expressed genes, we ...
