EMX2 Gene Expression in the Female Reproductive Tract and Aberrant Expression in the Endometrium of Patients with Endometriosis
1 May 2004
Abstract excerpt
EMX2 is a transcription factor necessary for reproductive tract development. Sex steroids regulate endometrial HOXA10 expression, which in turn negatively regulates EMX2. In this study, we characterize menstrual cycle-dependent expression of EMX2 in endometrium from women with and without endometriosis. In the absence of endometriosis, EMX2 mRNA levels declined 50% in periimplantation endometrium compared with...
