Resumo

A major event during the growth period of oocytes in nonmammalian animals is the accumulation of yolk. The genes coding for the yolk protein precursor, known as vitallogenin, are well characterized in a few vertebrate and invertebrate species. Studies on the evolution of these genes and on the regulatory mechanisms involved in their time, tissue- and hormone-specific expression are presented and discussed in this review.
