Characterization and Regulation of Type A Endothelin Receptor Gene Expression in Bovine Luteal Cell Types
1 May 1999
Abstract excerpt
Our previous studies demonstrated that endothelin-1 (ET-1), a 21-amino acid vasoconstrictor peptide, has a paracrine regulatory role in bovine corpus luteum (CL). The peptide is produced within the gland where it inhibits progesterone production by acting via the selective type A endothelin (ETA) receptors. The present study was designed to characterize ETA receptor gene expression in different ovarian cell types...
