First trimester maternal serum laeverin level cannot be used to predict preeclampsia. | Maternal serum laeverin (aminopeptidase Q) measured in the first trimester of pregnancy does not predict preeclampsia. Pihl K, Sørensen S, Nystad M, Acharya G, Jørgensen FS. | 01/25/2020 |
Laeverin is expressed in all trophoblast cell types of normal and preeclamptic placentas. Expression pattern of laeverin in trophoblast cells is heterogeneous and not necessarily membrane-bound. | Laeverin protein expression in normal and preeclamptic placentas using tissue microarray analysis. Nystad M, Sitras V, Nordbakken CV, Pedersen MI, Acharya G. | 11/3/2018 |
In preeclamptic placentas, laeverin is experssed in the cytoplasm and microvesicles, rather than the cell membrane. Laeverin appears to be involved in trophoblast cell migration and invasion through interaction with integrins and matrix metalloprotease 1. | Placental expression of aminopeptidase-Q (laeverin) and its role in the pathophysiology of preeclampsia.
