Schematic representation of granulosa and theca cell populations in mouse and medaka. In mammals, granulosa cells are the only cell type with steroidogenic activity, expressing both foxl2 and aromatase. Aromatase expression is directly induced by foxl2. In medaka, like in mammals, granulosa cells express both Foxl2 and aromatase. Examination of Foxl2 protein distribution in the medaka ovary revealed a new subpopulation of theca cells expressing Foxl2.
