Expression of Slc2a genes in the oocytes and preimplantation embryos of the mouse by the TaqMan gene expression assay. The mean ± S.E.M of the Slc2a members normalized to the relative transcript number of H2afz in the oocytes (A), zygotes (B), two-cell embryos (C), four-cell embryos (D), eight-cell embryos (E), and blastocysts (F) from four independent replicates. Each reaction is representative of RNA equivalent to 1.5 oocytes or embryos. The expression of Slc2a in the brain tissue as a positive control was demonstrated in 11 isoforms of Slc2a genes, except Slc2a7.
