G-protein coupled receptor 64 is required for decidualization of endometrial stromal cells

Abstract Although GPR64 has an important role for male fertility, its physiological roles in the female reproductive system are still unknown. In the present study, immunohistochemical analysis reveals a spatiotemporal expression of GPR64 in the uterus during early pregnancy. Observation of remarkab...
