The gene TTP, encoding a C3H zinc finger protein of the TIS11 family, is expressed in growing mouse oocytes. The gene is downregulated in Graafian follicles shortly before ovulation. This corresponds to a possible function in regulation of maternal mRNA translation, a function attributed to related C3H class genes in Caenorhabditis elegans, zebrafish, and Xenopus.

Oogenesis

In human women, oogenesis produces one mature egg cell or ovum for every precursor cell that enters meiosis. This process differs in two unique ways from the equivalent procedure of spermatogenesis in males. First, meiotic divisions during oogenesis are asymmetric, meaning that a large oocyte (containing most of the cytoplasm) and minor polar body are produced as a result of meiosis I, and again following meiosis II. Since only oocytes will go on to form embryos if fertilized, this unequal...
