Life and Death in the Placenta: New Peptides and Genes Regulating Human Syncytiotrophoblast and Extravillous Cytotrophoblast Lineage Formation and Renewal
1 Sept 2001
Abstract excerpt
Differential techniques have revealed several novel genes and peptides involved in trophoblast development including PL74/gdf15/MIC-1, a TGFbeta family cytokine that controls apoptosis and differentiation, PL48, a new serine-threonine protein kinase, serum and glucocorticoid-induced kinase, PBK-1, a tunicamycin-responsive gene, a cathepsin D-like gene (DAP-1) and hypoxia- regulated genes HRF-1,2,6,8 and...
