Expression of the imprinted genesMEST/Mest in human and murine placenta suggests a role in angiogenesis
1 Jan 2000
Abstract excerpt
In the mouse fetus, Mest is widely expressed in mesoderm derived tissues. In separate studies in mice and in humans, it has been shown to be maternally imprinted, that is, only the paternally inherited allele is active. Here, we show that starting with implantation, Mest is also expressed in maternal decidua of the mouse and in placenta of both humans and mice. Expression in murine decidua was restricted to...
