Description:
Explants of human chorion-decidual tissue obtained at delivery from normal, full-term pregnancies synthesize and secrete prolactin. This hormone is indistinguishable from pituitary prolactin by chromatographic, electrophoretic, immunologic, and receptor assay techniques. These results suggest that chorion-decidua may be the source of the large quantities of prolactin in amniotic fluid.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Golander, A -- Hurley, T -- Barrett, J -- Hizi, A -- Handwerger, S -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1978 Oct 20;202(4365):311-3.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/694535" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
