    basic FUNCTION
  • functioning at the oocyte-to-gamete transition with key role for the initiation of embryogenesis (Wu 2003)
  • ovary-specific maternal factor that plays essential roles during the oocyte-to-embryo transition (Wu 2003)
  • ZAR1 could also be implicated in the regulation of meiosis and post meiotic differentiation of male and female germ cells (Uzbekova 2006)
  • central role in early reproductive processes (Uzbekova 2006)
