Mechanism of ruminant placental lactogen action: molecular and in vivo studies.

Molecular genetics and metabolism - 1 Mar 2002

Gertler Arieh, Djiane Jean

Abstract excerpt

Ruminant placental lactogens (PLs) are structurally related to prolactins (PRLs) and growth hormones (GHs) and are secreted by placentae. Ruminant PLs are unusual in their capacity to bind and activate PRL and GH receptors (Rs) from other species. The present minireview summarizes several works showing that unlike in heterologous species (rat, rabbit, human), in homologous (ruminant) species, PLs act by...
