Abstract

Sulfate is an important nutrient for fetal growth and development. The fetus has no mechanism for producing its own sulfate and is therefore totally reliant on sulfate from the maternal circulation via placental sulfate transport. To build a model of directional sulfate transport in the placenta, we investigated the relative abundance of the 10 known sulfate transporter mRNAs in human placenta from uncomplicated term pregnancies. SLC13A4 and SLC26A2 were the most abundant sulfate transporter mRNAs, which localized to syncytiotrophoblast and cytotrophoblast cells, respectively. These findings indicate important physiological roles for SLC13A4 and SLC26A2 in human placental sulfate transport.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 03 September 2013.
All research outputs
#22,758,309
of 25,371,288 outputs
Outputs from Placenta
#1,467
of 2,026 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#181,293
of 205,210 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Placenta
#15
of 34 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,371,288 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,026 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.9. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 205,210 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 34 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
