pubmed:abstractText |
Membrane-bound aminopeptidases in human placenta are thought to be involved in maintaining homeostasis during pregnancy by metabolizing bioactive peptides such as oxytocin and angiotensin at the interface between the fetus and mother. Because determining the precise localization of these enzymes is required to support this notion, we investigated the ultrastructural localization of two principal enzymes, aminopeptidase A (APA; EC 3.4.11.7)/angiotensinase and placental leucine aminopeptidase (P-LAP; EC 3.4.11.3)/oxytocinase in human first trimester and full-term placenta.
