Outline of Final Research Achievements

Placenta is an interface between mother and fetus and it has a role of nutrients transfer. The placenta has the function mitigating the osmotic stress exposed from maternal blood. Part of amino acid is transferred via amino acid transport system A from mother to fetus in the placenta. In this study, we clarified that expression of the system A molecule can be more quickly increased in response to the osmotic stress than other molecules and we investigated how the system A molecules is induced by hypertonic stress.
