Placenta ? EFFLUX TRANSPORTERS ENZYMES
Efflux transporters and enzymesof the placenta Several ABC transporters have been localized in placenta: MDR1, BCRP, MRPs Protection of fetus against xenobiotics from mother.
Efflux transporters and enzymesof the placenta – expression of P-glycoprotein RT-PCR Western blotting Novotna M, et al. Reprod Tox, 2004
Efflux transporters and enzymesof the placenta Enzymes of phase one (CYP1,2,3 families) phase two (GST, UDP-glucuronosyltransferase, sulphotransferase, N-acetyl transferase). Clinical significance?? Mainly metabolism of steroid hormones (11b-HSD).

Conclusions Efflux transporters in the trophoblast can remove substrates from fetus to mother. Similarly, some enzymes may metabolize molecules in the fetal circulation. Transporters and enzymes play a key role in detoxication of the fetus.
