This protein is the quantitatively major secretory product of the mesometrial decidua in the rat. It is a variant of the liver-derived acute phase protein, alpha-2-Macroglobulin (Teixeira and O'Grady, 1992; da Silva et al, 1996). da Silva et al (1996) have reported that the protein may represent the functional homolog of human IGFBP1 produced by decidual cells and thus may be involved in regulating growth factor function during placental development.
