Insulin-like 4 (INSL4) gene expression in human embryonic and trophoblastic tissues
1 Oct 1998
Abstract excerpt
Polypeptide growth factors play an important role in the regulation of human embryonic development. Insulin-like 4 gene (INSL4) is a member of the insulin family, which includes insulin, IGF-I, IGF-II, relaxin, and INSL3. Using RT-PCR, we previously found abundant INSL4 mRNA in the human placenta. In this study, we examined the chronology and spatial expression of this gene in sections of human placenta and...
