Functional role of AKT signaling in bovine early embryonic development: potential link to embryotrophic actions of follistatin

Abstract Background TGF-β signaling pathways regulate several crucial processes in female reproduction. AKT is a non-SMAD signaling pathway regulated by TGF-β ligands essential for oocyte maturation and early embryonic development in the mouse, but its regulatory role in bovine early embryonic devel...
