Regulation of blood platelet levels involves an array of cytokines, including the placental hormone PRL-like protein E (PLP-E). The PLP-E receptor is present on megakaryocytes in pregnant mice, nonpregnant female mice, and male mice. Other known megakaryocytic cytokines do not share the PLP-E receptor, and thus the presence of this receptor in nonpregnant animals suggests that PLP-E may be expressed in tissues other than the placenta. Consistent with this prediction, PLP-E is produced in… CONTINUE READING
