Syncytin-1 (ERVW-1) Antibody, Abbexa, abx031651

Syncytin-1 (ERVW-1) antibody is a Rabbit polyclonal against Syncytin-1 (ERVW-1). Many different human endogenous retrovirus (HERV) families are expressed in normal placental tissue at high levels, suggesting that they are functionally important in reproduction. The protein, also known as syncytin, is expressed in the placental syncytiotrophoblast and is involved in fusion of the cytotrophoblast cells to form the syncytial layer of the placenta. It has the characteristics of a typical retroviral envelope protein, including a furin cleavage site that separates the surface (SU) and transmembrane (TM) proteins which form a heterodimer.
