General description

Stella is specifically expressed by oocytes, pluripotent cells and primordial germ cells at the time of their emergence in gastrulating embryos, and is an important maternal factor in the cleavage stages of mouse embryos (Bortvin, 2004). The requirement for stella in germ cell specification remains controversial, however, most embryos from stella deficient mice failed to develop normally and rarely reach the blastocyst stage (Bortvin, 2004; Payer, 2003). The stella gene encodes a protein with an SAP-like domain and splicing factor motif-like structure, suggesting possible roles in chromosomal organization and RNA processing (Payer, 2003).
