The presence of transforming growth factor e in bovine mammary gland.
Transforming growth factor e (TGFe) was demonstrated immunohistochemically in the bovine mammary gland, mainly in the glandular and ductal epithelium. In the teat, its expression was largely limited to the skin keratinocytes, ductal epithelium and ductal glands. It is suggested that this growth factor plays a role in lactation.
