Tuffrey, M., Bishun, N. P. & Barnes, R. D. Porosity of the mouse placenta to maternal cells.
Our results show that Cacnb3 exhibits specific spatial and temporal expression in the mouse placenta.
These three genes are imprinted in the mouse placenta.
The transporter genes Slc22a2 and Slc22a3 are imprinted specifically in mouse placenta [32].
Mouse placenta is positive for Peg10 transcripts as well as the Peg10-RF1 Peg10-RF1/2 Peg10-RF1/2s [7].
To study the genes that are imprinted specifically in the mouse placenta in very early human placenta, a model was required that displayed a sufficiently early trophoblast phenotype.
Representation of mouse placenta and Plasmodium chabaudi-GFP.
6 P-cadherin was first identified in mouse placenta.
We identified 40 human-specific placenta-predominant genes expressed in the human placenta and 57 mouse-specific placenta-predominant genes expressed in the mouse placenta (supplementary data set S5, Supplementary Material online).
The DMR and imprinted expression were found to be conserved in the macaque placenta, but not in the mouse placenta.
