Molecular forms of BMP15 and GDF9 in mammalian species that differ in litter size
Abstract Bone morphogenetic protein (BMP15) and growth differentiation factor (GDF9) are critical for ovarian follicular development and fertility and are associated with litter size in mammals. These proteins initially exist as pre-pro-mature proteins, that are subsequently cleaved into biologicall...
