“…These two proteins, chorionic ,-microglobulin (CAG-1) or placenta-specific ,-microglobulin (PAMG-1) and chorionic cc2-microglobulin (CAG-2) or placenta-specific oc2-microglobulin (PAMG-2) (Petrunin, Gryaznova, Petrunina & Tatarinov, 1978;Tatarinov, Kozljaeva, Petrunin & Petrunina, 1980), have been demonstrated to exhibit immunochemical identity with placental protein 12 (PP-12) and placental protein 14 (PP-14), two proteins isolated from term placenta (Bohn, Kraus & Winkler, 1982). Proteins CAG-2/PAMG-2 (Petrunin, Kozljaeva, Mesrjankina & Shevchenko, 1980) and PP-12 (Rutanen et ai, 1984) have been detected immunochemically in soluble extracts of the endometrium, but it is not known whether the placenta or the endometrium synthesizes these proteins.…”
