Molecular evidence of a (pro)renin/ (pro)renin receptor system in human intrauterine tissues in pregnancy and its association with PGHS-2

Prorenin stimulates decidual prostaglandin (PG) production in vitro , the (pro)renin receptor ((P)RR) may mediate this action. The role of prorenin in amnion PG synthesis has not been examined, despite this being the key site of PG synthesis. To determine if (P)RR, prorenin and PGHS-2 are co-localiz...
