Endogenous retroviral syncytin: compilation of experimental research on syncytin and its possible role in normal and disturbed human placentogenesis

4 Jun 2004

Abstract excerpt

Placental syncytin was first described in the year 2000 as a fusogenic glycoprotein originally derived from a human endogenous retroviral envelope gene. Although the presence of stable integrated retroviral elements within the human genome has been known for many years, their biological significance is still obscure and has usually been designated as irrelevant or even harmful. Syncytin, however, demonstrates...
