Novel function of pregnancy-associated plasma protein A: promotes endometrium receptivity by up-regulating N-fucosylation

Abstract Glycosylation of uterine endometrial cells plays important roles to determine their receptive function to blastocysts. Trophoblast-derived pregnancy-associated plasma protein A (PAPPA) is specifically elevated in pregnant women serum, and is known to promote trophoblast cell proliferation a...
