    • Hormone: relaxin-2 isoform 1

    • Hormone: VCAM1 soluble form

    • Hormone: PrRP31

      • PrRP gene expression was detected in both the placenta and decidua. [1]
      • These tissues expressed PrRP mRNA throughout pregnancy and the level of PrRP mRNA expression somewhat increased during midpregnancy. [1]
      • Placental and decidual cells also expressed PrRP mRNA, in vitro. [1]
