HUMAN GENE CRITICAL TO FERTILITY |
摘要 |
Disclosed herein are novel nucleic acid and protein sequences that are essential to fertility. In particular, human <i>Mater</i> cDNA and protein sequences are provided. Functional MATER is required for female fertility; zygotes that arise from <i>Mater</i> null oocytes do not progress beyond the two-cell stage. Methods are described for using <i>Mater</i> molecules in diagnoses, prognosis, and treatment of fertility and reduced fertility. Also provided are methods for using MATER as a contraceptive agent. The disclosure also describes compounds involved in such methods, and the identification of such compounds.
