  • Title: The expression of genes coding for positive acute-phase proteins in the reproductive tract of the female rat. High levels of ceruloplasmin mRNA in the uterus.
    Author: Thomas T, Schreiber G.
    Journal: FEBS Lett; 1989 Jan 30; 243(2):381-4. PubMed ID: 2465186.
    Abstract:
    High levels of ceruloplasmin mRNA were measured in the uterus of both pregnant and non-pregnant rats. No mRNA for alpha 2-macroglobulin and alpha 1-acid glycoprotein could be detected in the uterus in contrast to the high levels of those two mRNAs found in the decidua in the mid-gestation period. Synthesis of plasma proteins with a protective function in the decidua or uterus may be important in maintaining homeostasis at different stages of reproduction. In addition, ceruloplasmin synthesis by the uterus may be part of a system transporting copper to the fetus.
