Induction of glucose transporter 1 expression through hypoxia-inducible factor 1α under hypoxic conditions in trophoblast-derived cells
1 Oct 2004
Abstract excerpt
Glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1) plays an important role in the transport of glucose in the placenta. During early pregnancy, placentation occurs in a relatively hypoxic environment that is essential for appropriate embryonic development, and GLUT1 expression is enhanced in response to oxygen deficiency in the placenta. Hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1)alpha is involved in the induction of GLUT1 expression in other...
