| Research Abstract |
Heparin-binding EGF-like growth factor (HBEGF) participates in a wide range of physiological and pathological processes through its receptor EGFR. The aim of this study was to identify the expression of HBEGF and EGFR in bovine endometrium, and investigate the role of this system during implantation and placentation in cattle. Present results demonstrate that HBEGF-EGFR signaling system presents in bovine endometrium, and exhibits proliferation potential to the endometrial cells, indicating that the system play crucial role in implantation and placental development in cattle.
