Plet1 is an epigenetically regulated cell surface protein that provides essential cues to direct trophoblast stem cell differentiation
28 Apr 2016
Abstract excerpt
Gene loci that are hypermethylated and repressed in embryonic (ESCs) but hypomethylated and expressed in trophoblast (TSCs) stem cells are very rare and may have particularly important roles in early developmental cell fate decisions, as previously shown for Elf5. Here, we assessed another member of this small group of genes, Placenta Expressed Transcript 1 (Plet1), for its function in establishing trophoblast...
