Expression and localization pattern of ABCA1 in diverse human placental primary cells and tissues
L Nikitina, F Wenger, M Baumann, D Surbek, M Körner… - Placenta, 2011 - Elsevier
The ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) mediates the transport of cholesterol,
phospholipids, and other lipophilic molecules across cellular membranes. Recent data
provide evidence that ABCA1 plays an important role in placental function but the exact
cellular sites of ABCA1 action in the placenta remain controversial. To clarify this issue, we
analyzed the cellular and subcellular localization of ABCA1 with immunocytochemistry,
immunofluorescence and subsequent confocal or immunofluorescence microscopy in …
