Pregnant Mare Serum Gonadotropin

Introduction to the Molecule

PMSG is a complex glycoprotein obtained from the serum of pregnant mares. This 43–63 kda protein is capable of supplementing and being substituted for the follicle stimulating gonadotrophin and interstitial cell-stimulating hormone of the anterior pituitary gland in both the male and female. Thus PMSG-Intervet stimulates development of the ovarian follicle in the female.
