Human placenta and fetal membranes express human urocortin mRNA and peptide.

1 Oct 1996

Abstract excerpt

Recently a new member of the corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) family has been cloned and named urocortin. It has been localized in rat brain and to human chromosome 2. The present study investigated whether human placenta and related tissues express mRNA and immunoreactive urocortin. Using specific oligonucleotide primers, reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction experiments were performed on total RNA...
