Abstract excerpt

The rat placenta expresses two rat placental lactogen-I (rPL-I) proteins: the normal rPL-I in the first half of pregnancy and a variant (rPL-Iv) in the second half of pregnancy. They are 70% identical at the amino acid level but arise from different cell types: rPL-I from giant cells and rPL-Iv f...
