lüll Glycodelin in reproductive endocrinology and hormone-related cancer Seppala M; Koistinen H; Koistinen R; Hautala L; Chiu PC; Yeung WSEur J Endocrinol 2009[Feb]; 160 (2): 121-33Glycodelin is an endocrine-regulated glycoprotein that has significant effects on immune cells, apoptosis, reproduction, cell adhesion, differentiation and cancer. In reproduction, glycodelin contributes to capacitation and immunoprotection of spermatozoa, and it modulates sperm-oocyte binding, acrosome reaction and implantation. In endocrine-related cancer, the differentiation inducing effects of glycodelin are accompanied by growth restriction of malignant cells, decreased expression of oncogenes, increased expression of tumour suppressor genes and morphological reversion of the malignant phenotype. This review features these properties and clinical connections, highlighting the role of glycosylation in biological actions.|Endocrine System/*physiology[MESH]|Female[MESH]|Glycodelin[MESH]|Glycoproteins/*physiology[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Male[MESH]|Neoplasms/*physiopathology[MESH]|Pregnancy[MESH]|Pregnancy Proteins/*physiology[MESH]|Reproduction/*physiology[MESH] |
