Kisspeptin/KISS1R signaling potentiates extravillous trophoblast adhesion to type‐I collagen in a PKC‐ and ERK1/2‐dependent manner
6 Nov 2013
Abstract excerpt
During the first trimester of human pregnancy, cytotrophoblasts proliferate within the tips of the chorionic villi to form cell columns that anchor the placenta to the uterus. This migration coincides with a widespread change in the adhesion molecule repertoire of these trophoblasts. Kisspeptin and its receptor, KISS1R, are best known as potent triggers of gonadotropin-releasing hormone secretion. The...
