Core Binding Factors are essential for ovulation, luteinization, and female fertility in mice
Abstract Core Binding Factors (CBFs) are a small group of heterodimeric transcription factor complexes composed of DNA binding proteins, RUNXs, and a non-DNA binding protein, CBFB. The LH surge increases the expression of Runx1 and Runx2 in ovulatory follicles, while Cbfb is constitutively expressed...
