Abstract

The overall objective of this fellowship application is to study the role of imprinted nutrient transporters in fetal growth and development. The specific aims are: 1) To study the role of the imprinted amino-acid transporter Slc38a4 in fetal and placental physiology; 2) To identify novel imprinted nutrient transporter genes by using genomic approaches and perform functional studies by using conditional knock-out technologies.
