Figure 5. FATP2 western blots of cytotrophoblast and syncytiotrophoblast in vitro.

Figure 5.

Primary human cytotrophoblast (CTB) were isolated and cultured for 8h and 72h to allow for differentiation to syncytiotrophoblast (SCT) before protein collection. Lysates were analyzed by western blots and probed for Fatty acid transporter type 2 (FATP2). These data suggest the decrease in BODIPY-C12 and/or BODIPY-C16 fatty acid uptake after syncytialization may be due to the reduction in FATP2 protein expression. FATP2 levels were normalized to total protein visualized by amido-black. Data are Mean±SEM, n=6 placentas
