1 Sept 1993

The human growth hormone family of peptide hormones is encoded by five genes, pituitary growth hormone (hGH-N), and four placentally expressed genes, growth hormone variant (hGH-V), chorionic somatomammotropin A and B (hCS-A, hCS-B), and prolactin (hPrl). As part of an effort to define the local effects of the placentally expressed members of the GH/Prl family of hormones on the placenta, we have identified an...
