摘要
We have studied the expression of the nuclear orphan receptor GCNF (germ cell nuclear factor) on the mRNA and protein level in pubertal and adult mouse testes. We show by Northern and Western blot analyses and by in situ hybridization that GCNF is expressed in spermatocytes and round spermatids of adult mouse testis suggesting that GCNF may be a transcriptional regulator of spermatogenesis, Since the GCNF protein is accumulated in the XY body of late pachytene spermatocytes. it may be involved in transcriptional inactivation of sea chromosomes.
