Evolution of oogenesis: the receptor for vitellogenin from the rainbow trout

Receptors that transport vitellogenin (VTG) into oocytes are of vital importance to egg-laying species because they mediate a key step in oocyte development. Here we describe the cloning of the first piscine oocyte-specific receptor cDNA, i.e., that encoding the VTG receptor from the rainbow trout (...
