Expression of bone morphogenetic protein-15 in human oocyte and cumulus granulosa cells primed with recombinant follicle-stimulating hormone followed by human chorionic gonadotropin.
Bone morphogenetic protein-15 is expressed in oocytes and cumulus granulosa cells. It may play an important role in the hCG-induced oocyte final maturation and corpus luteum (CL) formation.
