Nuclear progesterone receptor regulates ptger4b and PLA2G4A expression in zebrafish (Danio rerio) ovulation
Abstract
Previous studies have implicated the nuclear progesterone receptor (Pgr or nPR) as being critical to ovulation in fishes. This study investigated the expression of Pgr in zebrafish ovarian follicles throughout development as well as putative downstream targets of Pgr by searching the promoter regions of selected genes for specific DNA sequences to which Pgr binds and acts as a transcription factor. Expression of Pgr mRNA increases dramatically …
