The Differential Expression of Myometrial Connexin-43, Cyclooxygenase-1 and -2, and Gsα Proteins in the Upper and Lower Segments of the Human Uterus during Pregnancy and Labor1

Abstract excerpt

There is evidence from many studies indicating that a number of specific quiescent and contractile associated proteins are temporally regulated in the myometrium during pregnancy. In this present investigation we provide data that strongly suggest that myometrial connexin-43, cyclooxygenase-1 and -2 (COX-1 and -2), and Gs alpha proteins are also spatially expressed within the human uterus during pregnancy and...
