High impact information on Vps26a

  • By Day 12, the fetal vasculature extended into the placental labyrinth, and the erythroid stem cells continued to strongly express H beta 58 [1].
  • The expression pattern of H beta maternal and fetal placental tissues and its early expression in fetal erythroid stem cells during formation and maturation of the chorioallantoic placenta suggest that H beta 58 plays key roles in the regulatory networks that control hematopoietic development and placentation [1].
  • Immunoreactive H beta 58 localized to erythroid cells within the developing fetal vasculature of the chorioallantoic primordia at Day 10 of pregnancy [1].
  • Immunodetection in the early postimplantation uterus (Days 6-8 of pregnancy) showed H beta 58 localized in the luminal and glandular epithelia and some stromal cells [1].
  • Stable cell lines (HRP/LRP) isolated from the rat labyrinthine placenta expressed H beta 58 mRNA and protein [1].
 

Anatomical context of Vps26a

  • Decidual cells at Day 6 of pregnancy expressed H beta 58, and by Day 9 of pregnancy, the protein localized throughout the maternal decidua [1].
  • H beta 58 protein expression was found in the uterine epithelium beginning from the peri-ovulatory stage [2].
  • H beta 58 mutant embryonic stem cells are clearly pluripotent but they appear to be more restricted in their developmental potential, suggesting that the H beta 58 gene product may be required by specific tissues of the embryo [3].
