Tuberoinfundibular peptide of 39 residues is activated during lactation and participates in the suckling-induced prolactin release in rat.

abstract：:Specific polyclonal antisera to the rat estrogen receptor (rER) were developed using a synthetic peptide as the antigen. The peptide corresponds to amino acids 270-284 deduced from the cloned rER cDNA and has no homology to other steroid hormone receptors. Antipeptide antisera raised in rabbits specifically recognize ...
