Abstract:The specific sites of physical association between endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and mitochondria are known as mitochondria-associated endoplasmic reticulum membrane (MAM), which plays an important role in the regulation of mitochondrial dynamics, calcium signaling, lipid processing and transportation, mitochondrial autophagy and endoplasmic reticulum stress. These physiological functions of MAM are very important for oocyte maturation. It has recently become clear that many proteins in MAM are crucial for oocyte maturation. This article reviews the research progress of MAM involved in oocyte maturation in recent years in order to provide a new direction for understanding the regulation mechanism of oocyte maturation, oocyte quality identification and improving the success rate of assisted reproduction.
