Hormonal regulation of messenger ribonucleic acid encoding a novel isoform of prostaglandin endoperoxide H synthase in rat preovulatory follicles. Induction in vivo and in vitro.

Abstract excerpt

Recent purification and amino-terminal analysis of the isoform of prostaglandin endoperoxide H synthase (PGS) induced in rat preovulatory follicles by gonadotropins identified it as a novel distinct isoform of PGS (rPGSi) which exhibited a high degree of homology to the deduced sequence of PGS-related cDNAs recently cloned in chicken and mice. To further verify the similarities of these novel gene products and to...
