Abstract
Oocyte maturation is a complex and delicate process involving multiple gene expression levels. RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) are pivotal regulators in oocyte maturation and mRNA metabolism through spatiotemporal control of processing, stability, localization, and translational activation. This review synthesizes current knowledge on RBPs-mediated regulatory networks on oocyte maturation and their impacts on oocyte quality and reproductive health. The characteristics of RBPs across species are also discussed, establishing a conceptual framework for developing novel therapeutic strategies to improve female fertility.
