ABSTRACT:
The present invention discloses isolated nucleic acids encoding MGF and recombinant proteins encoded thereby. In addition to being useful for the production of recombinant MGF, these nucleic acids are also useful as probes. In a further aspect of the invention, transfected host cells, particularly eukaryotic cells, containing and expressing such nucleic acids are provided. Furthermore, the present invention relates to methods for using such MGF proteins to identify and characterize compounds which affect the intracellular signal transduction of a lactogenic hormone.
