Estrogen receptor activation factor (E-RAF) of the rat uterus: hormonal control.
Evidence is presented showing that the synthesis of the estrogen receptor activation factor (E-RAF) in the rat uterus is under both estrogenic and progestational control. An ELISA method for the measurement of E-RAF is described and used to measure the E-RAF titre in the pregnant rat uterus. It is proposed that E-RAF synthesis during pregnancy is under the exclusive control of progesterone.
