1 In the mouse, retinoic acid induces ovarian Stra8 expression and entry of germ cells into meiosis. Tretinoin stimulated by retinoic acid gene 8 Mus musculus
2 In developing mouse testes, cytochrome P450 family 26, subfamily b, polypeptide 1 (CYP26B1) produced by the Sertoli cells degrades retinoic acid, preventing Stimulated by Retinoic Acid Gene 8 (Stra8), expression and inhibiting meiosis. Tretinoin stimulated by retinoic acid gene 8 Mus musculus

4 We therefore examined aspects of the retinoic acid/STRA8/CYP26B1 pathway during gonadal development in the tammar wallaby, a marsupial, to understand whether retinoic acid stimulation of STRA8 and CYP26B1 degradation of retinoic acid was conserved between widely divergent mammals. Tretinoin stimulated by retinoic acid gene 8 Mus musculus
5 We therefore examined aspects of the retinoic acid/STRA8/CYP26B1 pathway during gonadal development in the tammar wallaby, a marsupial, to understand whether retinoic acid stimulation of STRA8 and CYP26B1 degradation of retinoic acid was conserved between widely divergent mammals. Tretinoin stimulated by retinoic acid gene 8 Mus musculus
6 Exposure of pre-meiotic tammar ovaries to exogenous retinoic acid in vitro upregulated STRA8 expression compared to controls. Tretinoin stimulated by retinoic acid gene 8 Mus musculus
