BINDING CHARACTERISTICS OF THE OVINE MEMBRANE PROGESTERONE RECEPTOR ALPHA AND EXPRESSION OF THE RECEPTOR DURING THE ESTROUS CYCLE

Binding characteristics of the ovine membrane progesterone receptor alpha and expression of the receptor during the estrous cycle

Abstract Background Classically, progesterone has been thought to act only through the well-known genomic pathway involving hormone binding to nuclear receptors and subsequent modulation of gene expression.However, there is increasing evidence for rapid, non-genomic effects of progesterone in a variety of mammalian tissues and it is possible that a

Genome Analysis of Conserved Dehydrin Motifs in Vascular Plants

Dehydrins, a large family of abiotic stress proteins, are defined by the presence of a mostly conserved motif known as the K-segment, and may also contain two other conserved motifs known as the Y-segment and S-segment.Using the dehydrin literature, we developed a sequence motif definition of the K-segment, which we used to create a gruvi golden la
