The SNAT4 isoform of the system A amino acid transporter is expressed in human placenta
The system A amino acid transporter is encoded by three members of the Slc38 gene family giving rise to three subtypes: SNAT1, SNAT2, and SNAT4. SNAT2 is expressed ubiquitously in mammalian tissues, SNAT1 is predominantly expressed in heart, brain, and placenta while SNAT4 is reported to be expressed uniquely by the liver. In the placenta, system A has an essential role in the supply of neutral...
متن کاملParaoxonase 2 Protein Is Spatially Expressed in the Human Placenta and Selectively Reduced in Labour
Humans parturition involves interaction of hormonal, neurological, mechanical stretch and inflammatory pathways and the placenta plays a crucial role. The paraoxonases (PONs 1-3) protect against oxidative damage and lipid peroxidation, modulation of endoplasmic reticulum stress and regulation of apoptosis. Nothing is known about the role of PON2 in the placenta and labour. Since PON2 plays a ro...
متن کاملInsulinotropic nucleobindin-2/nesfatin-1 is dynamically expressed in the haemochorial mouse and human placenta.
The placenta is the physiological bridge between mother and fetus and has life-sustaining functions during pregnancy, including metabolic regulation, fetal protection and hormone secretion. Nucleobindin-2 (NUCB2) is a calcium- and DNA-binding protein and precursor of nesfatin-1, a signalling peptide with multiple functions, including regulation of energy homeostasis and glucose transport. These...
متن کاملGlucose transporter isoform 4 is expressed in the syncytiotrophoblast of first trimester human placenta.
BACKGROUND Placental glucose transport mechanisms in early pregnancy are poorly understood. The aims of this study were to investigate the expression of glucose transporter (GLUT) isoforms 1, 3 and 4 in first trimester villous tissue, to assess the effects of insulin on glucose uptake and compare them with term. METHODS The expression of GLUT isoforms was investigated using immunohistochemist...
متن کاملAberrant effect of genistein on placenta development expressed through alteration in transforming growth factor-β1 and alkaline phosphatase across the maternal serum, the placenta and the amniotic fluid
Objective(s): The mechanism via which genistein, the major isoflavone content of soya, adversely influenced placenta and fetal development was evaluated in pregnant laboratory rats.Materials and Methods: There were control, 2 mg/kg and 4 mg/kg genistein groups of rats with five sub-groups based on gestation termination day. At the end of...
