Promegestone (R5020) and Mifepristone (RU486) Both Function as Progestational Agonists of Human Glycodelin Gene Expression in Isolated Human Epithelial Cells1
1 Nov 1998
Abstract excerpt
One of the most abundant protein products of human secretory endometrium is glycodelin, a glycoprotein previously referred to as PP14. Although the precise function of this protein is unknown, its unique glycosylation pattern is believed to affect immunomodulatory activity during human embryonic implantation and inhibition of sperm-egg binding after ovulation. Having confirmed the expression of glycodelin in...
