Annotation rationales
Granulosa cells are ovarian somatic cells that surround the developing oocyte and respond to gonadotropins through steroidogenic and paracrine programs.
Functional implications
They support follicle growth and oocyte maturation, produce estrogens and inhibins, and undergo luteinization after ovulation.
