Localization of cation transporter channels in mouse placenta. Localization of calcium (A), copper (B), and iron (C) transporter channel in the placenta of pregnant mice were confirmed using immunohistochemistry. Cation transporter channel proteins on gestational date (GD) 17.5. (Left): 40× magnified view of placenta, (Mid): 200× magnified placenta region containing labyrinth (L), junctional (J), decidua (D) and (Right): 200× negative controls were stained in the absence of primary antibodies. Regions containing brown color indicate cation transporter channel expression.
