Figure 2.

Adenine nucleotide translocase 4 (Ant4) is expressed in fetal ovaries. The levels of Ant4, Ant2, and Sycp3 messenger RNA (mRNA) expression were examined in fetal and adult ovaries by qualitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Each mRNA amounts were normalized based upon the expression of the actin mRNA. Testis and liver tissues were used as positive controls for Ant4 and Sycp3 expressions and Ant2 expression, respectively. Error bars indicate standard deviations of triplicate samples.
