products description :
Description: Rabbit IgG polyclonal antibody for Stimulated by retinoic acid gene 8 protein homolog(STRA8) detection. Tested with WB in Human. Background: Stra8, stimulated by retinoic acid 8, is expressed in embryonic ovaries just before meiotic initiation, whereas in testis it is expressed after birth. The STRA8 gene contains 9 exons. And this gene is mapped to chromosome 7q31. Retinoic acid(RA) signaling was required for Stra8 expression, and therefore initiation of meiosis, in embryonic mouse ovaries. RA was sufficient to induce Stra8 expression in embryonic testis. Cyp26-mediated RA metabolism was responsible for delaying Stra8 expression in embryonic testis. Since RA signaling regulated Stra8 expression in both embryonic ovaries and adult testis, it was said this portion of the meiotic initiation pathway may be identical in both sexes.

ncbi summary :
This gene encodes a retinoic acid-responsive protein. A homologous protein in mouse has been shown to be involved in the regulation of meiotic initiation in both spermatogenesis and oogenesis, though feature differences between the mouse and human proteins suggest that these homologs are not entirely functionally equivalent. It is thought that this gene may play a role in spermatogenesis in humans. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2010]
uniprot summary :
STRA8: Meiosis-inducer required for the transition into meiosis for both female and male germ cells. In female germ cells, required for premeiotic DNA replication and subsequent events in meiotic prophase. Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 7q33. Cellular Component: cytoplasm; nucleus. Molecular Function: protein dimerization activity. Biological Process: fertilization; meiotic cell cycle DNA replication checkpoint; ovarian follicle development; meiotic chromosome condensation; meiotic recombination; synapsis; meiotic DNA double-strand break formation; spermatogenesis; regulation of organ growth; female meiosis sister chromatid cohesion; DNA replication; oocyte development
