Adamts9 is critical for the development of primary ovarian follicles
Carver, Jonathan J (East Carolina University, 2022-07-19)Adamts9 (a disintegrin and metalloprotease with a thrombospondin type 1 motif, member 9) is an extracellular matrix metalloprotease that is highly evolutionarily conserved and critical for development in vertebrates. ... -

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 ... -
FUNCTIONS OF G-PROTEIN COUPLED ESTROGEN RECEPTOR (GPER) IN FEMALE ZEBRAFISH REPRODUCTION
Williams, Marcus Jermaul Jawanza (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 ... -
LOCALIZATION AND CHANGES OF NUCLEAR PROGESTERONE RECEPTORS IN ZEBRAFISH OOCYTES AND ADJACENT FOLLICULAR CELLS
Daly, Sean C. J. (East Carolina University, 2010)The nuclear progesterone receptor (Pgr) is one of the major mediators for progestin signaling during oocyte ovulation in vertebrates. However, any roles Pgr may play in oocyte growth, and especially in the final oocyte ... -
NR5A family member ftz-f1 is necessary to promote oocyte development
McDonald, Samantha I (East Carolina University, 2019-07-15)Gamete production in mammals and insects is intimately tied to nutrition status. Conversion of nutritionally-dependent physiological signals to molecular mechanisms underlying control of oogenesis, however, remains largely ...
