Involvement of myristoylated alanine-rich c kinase substrate (MARCKS) protein in prostaglandin F2α- induced secretion of oxytocin by the bovine corpus luteum

Creator:

Salli, Ugur

Abstract:

Prostaglandin F₂α (PGF₂α), a stimulatory hormone of luteal oxytocin secretion, is known to activate protein kinase C (PKC); however, the intracellular signals that promote exocytosis of oxytocin remain to be elucidated. Myristoylated alanine-rich C kinase substrate (MARCKS), a protein specifically phosphorylated by PKC, crosslinks actin filaments associated with the inner...
