mRNA expression profiling in cotyledons reveals significant up‐regulation of the two bovine pregnancy‐associated glycoprotein genes boPAG‐8 and boPAG‐11 in early gestation
Abstract The multigene family of pregnancy‐associated glycoproteins (PAGs) belongs to a group of aspartic proteases that are exclusively expressed by trophoblast cells in the placenta of even‐toed ungulates. In Bovidae, 22 different PAG genes (boPAGs) with a wide range of temporal and spatial expres...
