Peroxiredoxins in gametogenesis and embryo development.

Primary tabs

Donnay, Isabelle [UCL] Knoops, Bernard [UCL]

Reactive oxygen species have been implicated in gametogenesis and embryo development in animals. As peroxiredoxins are now recognized as important protective antioxidant enzymes as well as modulators of hydrogen peroxide-mediated signaling, we addressed here the putative role of this novel family of peroxidases in gamete maturation and during embryogenesis in mammals and insects.
