Abstract excerpt
The solute linked carrier 13A4 gene (SLC13A4) is abundantly expressed in the human and mouse placenta where it is proposed to transport nutrient sulfate to the fetus. In mice, targeted disruption of placental Slc13a4 leads to severe and lethal fetal phenotypes, however the involvement of SLC13A4 in human development is unknown. A search of the NCBI and Ensembl gene databases identified two alternatively spliced...
