Abstract:Oxytocin and its carrier protein, neurophysin, are both associated with luteal secretory granules which migrate from the paranuclear region to the cell membrane where exocytosis takes place. Rab3 proteins are thought to be associated with membrane vesicles or granules undergoing exocytotic fusion with the plasma membrane. The objective of this study was to determine whether Rab3B is co-localized with oxytocin within the same secretory granules of large luteal cells obtained from corpora lutea of 16 Merino cros… Show more
