E-Cadherin Localization In Oviduct And Uterine Horn Of Swamp Buffalo During Estrous Cycle, Paisan Tienthai
The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine
The main purpose of the present study was to investigate the localization of epithelial cadherin (E-cadherin) in the oviduct and uterine horn of swamp buffalo at the follicular and mid-luteal phases. E-cadherin is a transmembrane glycoprotein which plays a vital role in the mechanism of the maintenance epithelial architecture, cell growth and proliferation, cell to cell adhesion including cell to epithelium adhesion. Female reproductive tracts of swamp buffaloes (n=30) were collected from local abattoirs and categorized into follicular (n=15) and mid-luteal (n=15) phases. Tissue samples from the oviducts and uterine horns were regularly handled according to histological and immunohistochemical techniques. …
