Serological identity between human alpha uterine protein and human progestagen-dependent endometrial protein.
Alpha uterine protein and progestagen-dependent endometrial protein were previously described in human endometrium by two independent groups of workers. Serological evidence is presented in this paper that these two proteins are the same.
متن کاملProperties of the progestagen-dependent protein of the human endometrium.
Antigens A and B, shown to be associated with the progestagen-dominated human endometrium, were partly purified and their properties studied. The antigens were recovered in the crude nuclei, the heavy particulate fraction and cytosol of decidua-rich tissue from early pregnancy. The antigens in cytosol were enriched by a combination of Concanavalin A-Sepharose chromatography and polyacrylamide g...
متن کاملFunctional characterization of the progestagen-associated endometrial protein gene in human melanoma
Utilizing gene microarray profiling of melanoma samples, we have recently identified a novel gene overexpressed in both thick primary and metastatic melanomas. This gene, progestagen-associated endometrial protein (PAEP), has never before been implicated in the oncogenic processes of melanoma, with its true function in oncogenesis and tumour progression relatively unknown. Overexpression of the...
متن کاملHuman Malignant Melanoma-Derived Progestagen-Associated Endometrial Protein Immunosuppresses T Lymphocytes In Vitro
Progestagen-associated endometrial protein (PAEP) is a glycoprotein of the lipocalin family that acts as a negative regulator of T cell receptor-mediated activation. However, the function of tumor-derived PAEP on the human immune system in the tumor microenvironment is unknown. PAEP is highly expressed in intermediate and thick primary melanomas (Breslow's 2.5mm or greater) and metastatic melan...
متن کاملProtein kinase C and human uterine contractility
Abnormalities in uterine contractility are thought to contribute to several clinical problems, including preterm labor. A better understanding of the mechanisms controlling uterine activity would make it possible to propose more appropriate and effective management practices than those currently in use. Recent advances point to a role of the protein kinase C (PRKC) family in the regulation of u...
