Investigations into the molecular heterogeneity of pregnancy-specific beta 1-glycoprotein (SP1).

abstract：INTRODUCTION:In the placenta, the (pro)renin receptor (ATP6AP2) is localised to the syncytiotrophoblast. ATP6AP2 can activate the placental renin-angiotensin system (RAS), producing Angiotensin II (Ang II) which, acting via the angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AGTR1), is important for placental development and function....

abstract：:The human placenta possesses a large capacity for inactivation of prostanoids. This is due to the presence of large quantities of the NAD(+)-linked 15-hydroxy-prostaglandin dehydrogenase (PGDH type I; EC 1.1.1.141). In order to investigate whether a specific localization of PGDH is at the origin of the increasing plac...
