High impact information on bmp15

Using in situ hybridization and immunocytochemistry, we detected BMP-15 in both oocytes and follicular cells [1].
BMP-15 mRNA is expressed in the ovary and testis and, to a lesser extent, brain, liver, gut, heart, and muscle [1].
Bone morphogenetic protein-15 in the zebrafish ovary: complementary deoxyribonucleic acid cloning, genomic organization, tissue distribution, and role in oocyte maturation [1].

Anatomical context of bmp15

These findings suggest that BMP-15 plays a role in regulating gonadal functions in fish, in particular oocyte maturation [1].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of bmp15

Real-time PCR revealed that BMP-15 is expressed in follicles at all stages of development with no significant changes over the course of folliculogenesis [1].
