Product Specs

Introduction
Pregnancy Specific Beta-1-Glycoprotein 1 (PSG1) is a member of a subgroup of transcription factors that are phosphorylated upon binding to promoter sequences. PSGs belong to the carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) family and function as early biochemical markers of syncytiotrophoblast formation. Additionally, PSG1 is believed to mediate placental vascular morphogenesis by enhancing VEGF-A production and endothelial tube formation. As a major product of the syncytiotrophoblast, PSG1 reaches concentrations of 100-290 mg/l at term in the serum of pregnant women.

Product Science Overview

Structure and Function

PSG1 is a highly glycosylated protein, consisting of a leader peptide followed by one N-terminal immunoglobulin variable region-like domain (N-domain) and two or three immunoglobulin constant region-like domains . The protein is primarily synthesized by the syncytiotrophoblast cells in the placenta and is the most abundant protein in the maternal bloodstream during the later stages of pregnancy .

The primary function of PSG1 is to act as an immunomodulator, protecting the growing fetus by modulating the maternal immune response . It has been observed to induce the production of transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGFB1) and vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA), which play crucial roles in placental vascular morphogenesis and the establishment of the maternal-fetal interface .

Recombinant Production

The recombinant form of PSG1, produced in Sf9 insect cells, is used for various research and diagnostic purposes. The Sf9 cell line, derived from the fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda), is commonly used for the expression of recombinant proteins due to its high efficiency and ability to perform post-translational modifications similar to those in mammalian cells .

Clinical Significance

PSG1 levels in maternal serum can serve as a biomarker for pregnancy-related conditions. Abnormal levels of PSG1 have been associated with complications such as preeclampsia and intrauterine growth restriction . Additionally, PSG1 has potential therapeutic applications due to its immunomodulatory properties, which could be harnessed to treat autoimmune diseases and other inflammatory conditions .

Research and Future Directions

Ongoing research aims to further elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying PSG1’s functions and its interactions with other proteins and cells in the maternal-fetal interface. Understanding these mechanisms could lead to the development of novel diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for pregnancy-related complications and other immune-related disorders .
