Localization of α-Tocopherol Transfer Protein in Trophoblast, Fetal Capillaries' Endothelium and Amnion Epithelium of Human Term Placenta

9 Mar 2004

Abstract excerpt

Vitamin E has been linked to fertility since its discovery in 1922. However, the exact mechanism by which alpha-tocopherol allows pregnancy to continue until term has remained puzzling over the last 80 years. Alpha-tocopherol transfer protein (TTPA) is expressed in liver and in Purkinje cells of the cerebellum. TTPA is suggested to be responsible for the transfer of alpha-tocopherol across barrier membranes....
