KIF20A Regulates Porcine Oocyte Maturation and Early Embryo Development
Figure 1
Subcellular localization of KIF20A in porcine oocytes.
Immunofluorescent staining was employed to show the subcellular localization of KIF20A. KIF20A exhibited a dynamic localization pattern during porcine oocyte meiotic maturation. KIF20A localized at centromeres at the germinal vesicle breakdown (GVBD) stage and metaphase I (MI) stage, then transferred to the midbody in dividing oocytes during telophase (TI), finally, KIF20A was accumulated at centromeres again at metaphase II (MII). Red, KIF20A; blue, chromatin.
