Coxsackie virus and adenovirus receptor (CXADR also known as CAR), a tight junction component molecule was reported to be expressed in epithelial cells. Previous studies reported that CXADR play an important role in tight junction complex. However, the role of CXDAR in blastocyst formation has not been investigated. Here we demonstrated that transcript levels of CXADR were elevated at eight-cell stage onward and highest at the blastocyst. To investigate the biological function...
