During pregnancy, several tightly coordinated and regulated processes take place to enable
proper fetal development and gestational success. The formation and development of the …

With the rapid explosion of genomic sequence databases, there has been an equivalent
boom in genomics, the use of sequence information to define and compare gene families …

Preeclampsia is a leading cause of maternal and fetal/neonatal mortality and morbidity
worldwide. The early identification of patients with an increased risk for preeclampsia is …

Galectins are proteins that regulate immune responses through the recognition of cell-
surface glycans. We present evidence that 16 human galectin genes are expressed at the …

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate first-trimester serum placental protein
13 (PP13) as a screening test for preeclampsia and intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) …

Placental protein 13 (PP13) was cloned from human term placenta. As sequence analyses,
alignments and computational modelling showed its conserved structural and functional …

Objective: To determine maternal serum placental protein 13 (PP13) in normal pregnancy
and preeclampsia. Methods: A prospective, longitudinal study with 41 normal pregnant …

This review summarizes studies on lectins that have been documented to be in the
cytoplasm and nucleus of cells. Of these intracellular lectins, the most extensively studied …

Placental tissue protein 13 (PP-13), one of the 56 known placental proteins identified till
today, was purified from placentas obtained from women at delivery, and used to evoke …

Galectins are glycan-binding proteins that regulate innate and adaptive immune responses,
and some confer maternal-fetal immune tolerance in eutherian mammals. A chromosome 19 …
