Osteopontin (OPN), an extracellular matrix protein (ECM), has been hypothesized to bind integrins expressed on the apical surfaces of the conceptus Tr and uterine LE to: 1) stimulate changes in morphology of conceptus Tr and extraembryonic membranes resulting in conceptus elongation, and 2) to induc...
