... Gap junction Cre/loxP Transgenic mice During pregnancy, the uterus is relatively quiescent until the onset of contractile activity in association with labour. The cascade of events precipitating labour remains unclear but it is proposed that the myometrium becomes primed to contract before...

...-anchored proteins are required for fertilization in vivo. Oocyte-specific knockout mice were created using the Cre/loxP system to delete a portion of the Pig-a gene, which encodes an enzyme involved in GPI anchor biosynthesis. Conditional Pig-a -knockout females are infertile, and eggs recovered from...
