[TSG-6 protein and its role during maturation of ovarian follicles].

TSG-6 is an ~35 kDa glycoprotein belonging to the hyaluronan binding family. Its expression is induced as a result of an inflammatory condition and during ovulation. TSG-6 is a crucial protein engaged in extracellular matrix synthesis and organization of cumulus-oophorus-complexes (COCs) in preovulatory ovarian follicles.
