Siglec-6 is expressed in gestational trophoblastic disease and affects proliferation, apoptosis and invasion
22 Oct 2012
Abstract excerpt
Sialic acid immunoglobulin-like lectin (Siglec)-6 is a transmembrane receptor that binds leptin. Leptin is an obesity-associated peptide hormone overexpressed in gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD). GTD encompasses several placental abnormalities that range from benign to malignant.
