Characterization of Pgrmcs and mPRs in oocyte maturation and ovulation in zebrafish (Danio rerio)
(East Carolina University, 2020-06-22)It is well known that progestins initiate important reproductive processes such as oocyte maturation and ovulation in vertebrates. Progestins exert functions through binding to progestin receptors. At least three families ... -
Development of an Optogenetic Tool for Targeted Sensory Hair Cell Ablation in Zebrafish
(East Carolina University, 2022-04-28)Mechanosensory hair cells convert mechanical information into neuronal signals. Mutations in the genes required for hair cell function cause deafness and lead to the degeneration of sensory hair cells. Mammals are unable ... -
FUNCTIONS OF G-PROTEIN COUPLED ESTROGEN RECEPTOR (GPER) IN FEMALE ZEBRAFISH REPRODUCTION
(East Carolina University, 2019-11-27)Abstract Steroid hormones such as estrogen depend on receptors like Estrogen Receptor alpha (ERα) and Estrogen Receptor (ERβ) to mediate their slow “genomic” functions, and G-Protein coupled Estrogen Receptor (GPER) to ...
