Role of proline rich 15 in trophoblast cell development, The
Altmetrics
Abstract
Maintenance of pregnancy in eutherian mammals requires a sophisticated and tightly regulated program of gene expression in order to develop a fully functional placenta. This transient organ mediates nutrient and gas exchange between the mother and fetus while protecting the fetus from the maternal immune system. Deviations from the normal regulation of gene expression during early pregnancy can lead to early embryonic loss as well as dysfunctional placentation, which can cause significant maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. Proline rich 15 (PRR15) is a low molecular weight nuclear protein ...
