Protein kinase C isoforms ¿, ¿ and ¿ are differentially expressed in mouse ovaries at different stages of postnatal development

Conclusions: This study demonstrates that PKCα, PKCδ and PKCε isoforms are differentially expressed in particular cellular components of pre-pubertal, pubertal and adult mouse ovarian follicles. Therefore, we suggest that each PKC isoform has unique functions that are controlled by gonadotropin dependent mechanisms during follicular growth, oocyte maturation, ovulation and luteinization.
