Abstract excerpt
The human and murine pregnancy-specific glycoprotein (PSG) gene families encode a large number of closely related proteins which are abundantly expressed in the fetal trophoblast and secreted into the maternal circulation. Although the presence of a well conserved tripeptide sequence His or Arg-Gly-Asp or Glu or Lys (H/RGD/E/K) similar to the RGD motif found in extracellular matrix proteins hints towards a...
