The timely onset of powerful uterine contractions during parturition involves the integration of many signaling pathways, the protein components of which may be translationaly regulated throughout gestation. We have utilized the pregnant mouse model to examine gestational-dependent changes in the expression of several proteins implicated in the coordination of myometrial excitation-contraction coupling: caveolins 1-3, rho-associated kinases (ROKalpha and beta), alpha-actin, MLC(20), and h-caldesmon.
