Abstract
ABSTRACT Insulin receptor substrate 2 (IRS2) participates in reproduction; however, the location and expression of IRS2 in the reproductive system of female mice is not clear. We used real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), western blot and immunohistochemical staining to investigate the expression of IRS2 in the ovary, oviduct and uterus of female mice during the estrous cycle. We found that IRS2 was expressed in all reproductive organs of mouse and that the expression level changed with the estrous phases. The expression of IRS2 in reproductive organs was greatest during estrus.
