somatomamotropina coriónica
somatomamotropina coriónica humana
Scope note: Hormona polipeptídica de aproximadamente 25 kDa, que es producida por los SINCITIOTROFOBLASTOS de la PLACENTA y a la que también se denomina somatomamotropina coriónica. Tiene actividad sobre el crecimiento, la lactancia y la producción esteroidea luteínica tanto de la HORMONA DEL CRECIMIENTO HUMANA como de la PROLACTINA. En la mujer, la secreción de lactógeno placentario comienza poco después de la implantación y aumenta hasta 1 gr por día en las fases avanzadas del embarazo. El lactógeno placentario es también un antagonista de la insulina.

Scope note: A polypeptide hormone of approximately 25 kDa that is produced by the SYNCYTIOTROPHOBLASTS of the PLACENTA, also known as chorionic somatomammotropin. It has both GROWTH HORMONE and PROLACTIN activities on growth, lactation, and luteal steroid production. In women, placental lactogen secretion begins soon after implantation and increases to 1 g or more a day in late pregnancy. Placental lactogen is also an insulin antagonist.
