Sodium-dependent phosphate transporter PiT1/SLC20A1 as the receptor for the endogenous retroviral envelope syncytin-B involved in mouse placenta formation
17 Sept 2024
Abstract excerpt
ABSTRACT Syncytins are envelope genes of retroviral origin that play a critical role in the formation of a syncytial structure at the fetomaternal interface via their fusogenic activity. The mouse placenta is unique among placental mammals since the fetomaternal interface comprises two syncytiotrophoblast layers (ST-I and ST-II) instead of one observed in all other hemochorial placentae. Each layer specifically...
