Plac1 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Involved in placenta development. Acts upstream of or within spongiotrophoblast layer developmental growth. Predicted to be located in extracellular region. Is expressed in several structures, including body wall mesenchyme; brain; extraembryonic component; genitourinary system; and lung. Orthologous to human PLAC1 (placenta enriched 1).
