FKBP51 CONTRIBUTES TO UTERINE LEIOMYOMA PATHOGENESIS BY INDUCING CELL PROLIFERATION AND EXTRACELLULAR MATRIX DEPOSITION.
This study was able to determine that uterine leiomyoma (fibroid) cells have increased expression of FKBP51 compared to normal myometrial cells. This binding protein may be used to further study fibroid pathogenesis.
