1 Urocortin (UCN) is a 40 amino acid peptide which is closely related to corticotropin-releasing hormone and binds with high affinity to both CRH type 1 and type 2 receptors. Urocortins urocortin Homo sapiens
2 This study was designed to investigate the cellular localization of UCN at the implantation site of the human blastocyst, as well as the regulation of the UCN promoter by two major intracellular signaling pathways, the cAMP/PKA and diacylglycerol/PKC pathways, in cells of placental origin. Cyclic AMP urocortin Homo sapiens
3 This study was designed to investigate the cellular localization of UCN at the implantation site of the human blastocyst, as well as the regulation of the UCN promoter by two major intracellular signaling pathways, the cAMP/PKA and diacylglycerol/PKC pathways, in cells of placental origin. Diglycerides urocortin Homo sapiens
4 Immunohistochemistry revealed expression of UCN in the cytotrophoblast, the EVT and decidual cells. EVT urocortin Homo sapiens
5 Both UCN mRNA and peptide were detectable in freshly isolated EVT. EVT urocortin Homo sapiens
6 Finally, a human UCN promoter luciferase reporter construct transfected into JEG3 cells was significantly inducible by phorbol ester plus ionomycin, but not by phorbol ester alone or by forskolin. Phorbol Esters urocortin Homo sapiens
7 Finally, a human UCN promoter luciferase reporter construct transfected into JEG3 cells was significantly inducible by phorbol ester plus ionomycin, but not by phorbol ester alone or by forskolin. Ionomycin urocortin Homo sapiens
