Abstract
The changing placental expression patterns of heparanase, SDC1 and SDC4 indicate that these molecules might be involved in fetomaternal communication and placental maturation in cattle. The matrix degrading properties of heparanase could assist in a timely reduction of fetomaternal adhesion and thus promote separation of the membranes after parturition.
