Summary.
The cAMP-dependent protein kinase (ATP:protein phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.1.37), has been studied in the vaginal epithelium, vaginal stroma, endometrium, and whole uterus of spayed mice treated with oestradiol-17β, and in the vaginal epithelium and uterus of spayed mice. Two protein kinase isoenzymes (PK I and PK II) were found in whole uterus, endometrium, and vaginal stroma. Vaginal epithelium contained only one isoenzyme (PK II). Oestradiol treatment increased PK I relative to PK II in the uterus. The isoenzyme pattern in the vaginal epithelium was unaltered after such treatment. The total protein kinase activity was 70% higher in uterine extracts (cytosol) than in extracts from vaginal epithelium. Oestradiol treatment did not influence the total protein kinase activity in either tissue.
Reproduction is committed to supporting researchers in demonstrating the impact of their articles published in the journal.
The two types of article metrics we measure are (i) more traditional full-text views and pdf downloads, and (ii) Altmetric data, which shows the wider impact of articles in a range of non-traditional sources, such as social media.
