During in vitro maturation (IVM), the compact structure of cumulus-oocyte complexes (COCs) is vital for oocyte competence acquisition. Intermedin/Adrenomedullin-2 (IMD/ADM2) binds to the receptor RAMP (1, 2, or 3):CLR. Recently, it was demonstrated that IMD/ADM2 stimulates oocyte competence and improves bovine embryo quality.
