Abstract Human trophoblast expresses two fusogenic retroviral envelope proteins the widely studied syncytin I encoded by HERV-W and the recently characterized syncytin 2 encoded by HERV-FRD. Here we studied syncytin 2 in normal and Trisomy 21-affected placenta associated with abnormal trophoblast differentiation. .
