Abstract:
Calcium metabolism and the transepithelial Ca2+ active transport play important roles in many basic physiological processes,such as neurotransmission,excitation-contraction coupling, vesicular secretion. Placenta is a link between maternal and fetal,transiting all the nutritions from maternal to the fetus.The syncytionbophoblast express many sorts of calcium channels/transporters and exchangers, such as voltage-dependant Ca2+ channels, transient receptor potential channels, store-operated Ca2+ channels, calcium-binding proteins, plasma membrane Ca2+ -ATPases, Na + / Ca2+ exchanger, which exhibit specific distribution and physiological properties. Therefore, this review focuses on the tissue expression and functional properties of channels, transporters,and exchangers in syncytionboph-oblasts.
