Tretinoin 23-36 stimulated by retinoic acid gene 8 Mus musculus 0-5 18799751-5 2008 Stra8 is a vertebrate-specific, cytoplasmic factor expressed by germ cells in response to retinoic acid. Tretinoin 90-103 stimulated by retinoic acid gene 8 Mus musculus 0-5 18799751-11 2008 Taken together with previous observations, our present findings indicate that, in both the male and female germ lines, meiosis is initiated through retinoic acid induction of Stra8. Tretinoin 148-161 stimulated by retinoic acid gene 8 Mus musculus 175-180
