Sequencing of the 40 N-terminal amino acids of the blastocyst protein responsible for blocking corpus luteum regression in early pregnancy in sheep revealed a 37% homology with human alpha-interferon; 28% of the remaining amino acid changes were conservative. 125I-Labelled human alpha-interferon bound to membrane receptors from sheep uteri with an approximate Kd of 4 x 10(-11) M; binding was inhibited by unlabelled alpha-interferon or purified blastocyst antiluteolytic protein. The blastocyst antiluteolytic protein therefore closely resembles the interferon-alpha family of antiviral proteins.

D011247 Pregnancy The status during which female mammals carry their developing young (EMBRYOS or FETUSES) in utero before birth, beginning from FERTILIZATION to BIRTH. Gestation,Pregnancies
D011257 Pregnancy Proteins Proteins produced by organs of the mother or the PLACENTA during PREGNANCY. These proteins may be pregnancy-specific (present only during pregnancy) or pregnancy-associated (present during pregnancy or under other conditions such as hormone therapy or certain malignancies.) Placental Proteins,Proteins, Placental,Proteins, Pregnancy
D011956 Receptors, Cell Surface Cell surface proteins that bind signalling molecules external to the cell with high affinity and convert this extracellular event into one or more intracellular signals that alter the behavior of the target cell (From Alberts, Molecular Biology of the Cell, 2nd ed, pp693-5). Cell surface receptors, unlike enzymes, do not chemically alter their ligands.
