Figure 1

Schematic illustration of FATPs’ involvement in the placenta-fetal brain axis.

Fatty acid supply from the mother to the fetal brain is carried out through SLC27As (FATPs) at individual barriers shown in the figure. At all the barriers, SLC27As (FATPs) 3 and 4 are thought to be commonly expressed (see text). Arrows show direction of fatty acid transport. The part of this figure is made using the modification of Fig. 1 in ref. 15.
