| Gene summary | | The female gamete, the oocyte, serves the distinct purpose of transmitting the maternal genome and other maternal factors critical for postovulation events. Oocytes have diverse functions in ovarian folliculogenesis, fertilization, and embryogenesis. ZAR1 is an oocyte-specific gene that appears to function at the oocyte-to-gamete transition (Wu et al., 2003 [PubMed 12539046]).[supplied by OMIM] |
