Isolation and characterization of a novel gene of the DEAD box protein family which is specifically expressed in germ cells of Xenopus laevis.

abstract：:The ability of Xenopus oocytes to undergo insulin- or insulin-like growth factor 1-induced meiotic maturation develops during oogenesis, with cells 1.0 mm in diameter or larger responding in a size-dependent manner. Since insulin-induced oocyte maturation was shown previously to be p21 ras-dependent, experiments were ...

Xenopus laevis eggs contain significant amounts of activin or activin-like factors, but maternal activin transcripts have not been detected in Xenopus eggs.
