Department of Entomology, University of California, Davis 95616.

It has been shown that cytosol from human term placenta contains cytosolic epoxide hydrolase activity. This cytosolic epoxide hydrolase was enriched more than 700-fold by affinity chromatography and appears similar to the enzyme from mouse and human liver in terms of molecular mass (Mr 59,000) and antigenic reactivity.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D010920	Placenta	A highly vascularized mammalian fetal-maternal organ and major site of transport of oxygen, nutrients, and fetal waste products. It includes a fetal portion (CHORIONIC VILLI) derived from TROPHOBLASTS and a maternal portion (DECIDUA) derived from the uterine ENDOMETRIUM. The placenta produces an array of steroid, protein and peptide hormones (PLACENTAL HORMONES).	Placentoma, Normal,Placentome,Placentas,Placentomes
