Query author contributions in Reactome
Reactome depends on collaboration between our curation team and outside experts to assemble and peer-review its pathway modules. The integration of ORCID within Reactome enables us to meet a key challenge with authoring, curating and reviewing biological information by incentivizing and crediting the external experts that contribute their expertise and time to the Reactome curation process. More information is available at ORCID and Reactome.
If you have an ORCID ID that is not listed on this page, please forward this information to us and we will update your Reactome pathway records.

| text | The pregnancy-specific glycoproteins (PSGs) are the most abundant trophoblastic proteins in maternal blood during human pregnancy. They are secreted by the syncytiotrophoblast and are detected around day 14 post fertilization. The PSG family belongs to the carcinoembryonic antigen family. There are ten human protein-coding PSG genes (PSG1- PSG9, PSG11) (Thompson et al. 1990). Several studies indicate that PSGs have immunoregulatory, proangiogenic, and anti-platelet functions. PSGs (PSG1) binds to cell surface proteoglycans that have covalently attached glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), specifically to syndecans 1-4 and glypican-1, to induce endothelial tube formation (Lisboa et al. 2011). PSG1 interacts with and activates Transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGFB1) (Blois et al. 2014, Moore & Dveksler 2014). During pregnancy, TGFB1 regulates many processes essential for pregnancy success including trophoblast invasion and proliferation, angiogenesis, extracellular matrix formation and tolerance to the foetal semi-allograft (Jones et al. 2006). TGFB1 also regulates the production of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and this may contribute to PSG1-induced VEGF-A secretion (Ha et al. 2010). Therefore the pro-angiogenic properties of some PSGs are mediated by two different mechanisms, TGF-beta mediated induction of VEGF-A, and direct interaction of PSGs with GAGs on the surface of endothelial cells. |
