To get insights into the megalin system during PM, we determined the abundance of megalin and its intracellular adaptor protein Dab2 in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded placental samples obtained from women living in malaria endemic areas of Uganda, with and without PM, who had normal and low birth weights of newborn babies (Table 1 and Supplementary Table 1). Here, LRP2 is linked to malaria.
