Mr: relative molecular mass; PI: isoelectric point. Symbols (+) and (−) denote an increase and a decrease, respectively, at day 55 of gestation of fetal ovaries, when compared with day 90 of gestation of fetal ovaries. High similarity indicated that those proteins are from mouse databases (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/protein/?term=txid10088[Organism:exp]).
