The Rodent Placental Prolactin Family and Pregnancy

  • Chapter
Endocrinology of Pregnancy

Part of the book series: Contemporary Endocrinology ((COE,volume 9))

Abstract

Endocrine signals produced by the placenta have a pivotal role in the establishment and maintenance of pregnancy. These signals include hormones, cytokines, and growth factors that act to coordinate events in maternal, extraembryonic, and embryonic compartments. Among the various regulatory signals secreted by the placenta are a prominent family of proteins related to pituitary prolactin (PRL). These proteins have amassed a rich history of investigation in several species.
