Sox3 is selectively activated during the first cell division of the human embryo.
Abstract
We studied gene expression in the human embryo immediately after fertilization and zygotic activation and at the first cell division from 1-cell to 2-cell stage. We describe here discovery of Sox3 as a zygotic cell factor required or important during the first cell division of the fertilized human embryo.
