Immunization with placenta-specific 1 (plac1) induces potent anti-tumor responses and prolongs survival in a mouse model of melanoma.

Results provide evidence that Plac1 modulates a tolerogenic tumor microenvironment in part by modulating the chemokine axis in mammary tumors.
Title: Plac1 Is a Key Regulator of the Inflammatory Response and Immune Tolerance In Mammary Tumorigenesis.
Upon meiosis onset, active furin/IGF-1 receptor relocates into the cytoplasm to activate (phosphorylate) Akt to promote meiosis. In summary, our finding suggests that Plac1, a protein that is crucial for placentation, is also essential for oocyte meiosis and fertilization.
Title: Placenta-specific 1 regulates oocyte meiosis and fertilization through furin.
Plac1 is abundantly expressed at the fetomaternal interface and in all trophoblast subtypes except in primary trophoblast giant cells. Plac1 knockdown retarded the progress of TS differentiation, indicating that Plac1 is necessary for normal trophoblast differentiation into various trophoblast subpopulations.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
