Expression of multiple genes for pregnancy-associated glycoproteins in the sheep placenta.
Together these experiments have showed that there are many PAG genes in the ovine genome and many of these are expressed in the placenta. These PAG genes vary as much as 40% in nucleotide sequence identity. Thus, a wide range of ovPAG molecules are secreted at the placental-uterine surface during pregnancy.
