Paternal knockout of Slc38a4 /SNAT4 causes placental hypoplasia associated with intrauterine growth restriction in mice
30 Sept 2019
Abstract excerpt
The placenta is critical in mammalian embryonic development because the embryo’s supply of nutrients, including amino acids, depends solely on mother-to-embryo transport through it. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying this amino acid supply are poorly understood. In this study, we focused on system A amino acid transporters Slc38a1 /SNAT1, Slc38a2 /SNAT2, and Slc38a4 /SNAT4, which carry neutral,...
