Sonic hedgehog
Are there related proteins? Lots. In mammals, Sonic is related to two other hedgehogs: Indian and Desert. When expressed appropriately, the three proteins can substitute for one another but they do have unique functions: Desert hedgehog is needed for spermatogenesis and Indian hedgehog regulates cartilage differentiation. In the zebrafish, Sonic is related to Tiggywinkle hedgehog — which is tho...
متن کاملComparative female reproductive tract development and morphology
A brief description of the basic pattern of mammalian organogenesis of the female reproductive tract is presented based on events as they occur in human beings. The emphasis is not on the details of this development, but rather its organization and timing. Tables of comparative development provide a comparison of similar events between man, rat, mouse, and chick.
متن کاملLeptotrichia amnionii and the Female Reproductive Tract
create a niche for M. tuberculosis (10). Our hypothesis could be refuted or corroborated in several ways, for example, by a case-control study of HIV-negative patients infected with tuberculosis. If this study refutes our hypothesis, the idea that sex hormones play a direct role in the immune response to M. tuberculosis would be supported. Such findings might also provide possibilities for drug...
متن کاملAdipokines and the Female Reproductive Tract
It is well known that adipose tissue can influence puberty, sexual maturation, and fertility in different species. Adipose tissue secretes molecules called adipokines which most likely have an endocrine effect on reproductive function. It has been revealed over the last few years that adipokines are functionally implicated at all levels of the reproductive axis including the gonad and hypothala...
متن کاملWnt-7a maintains appropriate uterine patterning during the development of the mouse female reproductive tract.
The murine female reproductive tract differentiates along the anteroposterior axis during postnatal development. This process is marked by the emergence of distinct cell types in the oviduct, uterus, cervix and vagina and is dependent upon specific mesenchymal-epithelial interactions as demonstrated by earlier heterografting experiments. Members of the Wnt family of signaling molecules have bee...
