    Area of Science:

    • Biochemistry
    • Clinical Chemistry
    • Immunology

    Background:

    • Pregnancy involves unique proteins crucial for fetal development and maternal health.
    • These proteins can be categorized into trophoblast-specific, pregnancy-associated, and fetal groups.
    • Understanding these proteins aids in diagnosing and monitoring pregnancy complications.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the physicochemical properties of pregnancy-specific and pregnancy-associated proteins.
    • To evaluate the clinical utility of these proteins in monitoring feto-placental function.
    • To explore their role in the diagnosis and management of malignant diseases.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review of existing studies on pregnancy proteins.
    • Analysis of physicochemical characteristics of key proteins.

  • Assessment of clinical applications in diagnostics and monitoring.

    • Main Results:

    • Detailed physicochemical properties of selected pregnancy proteins are outlined.
    • Clinical value demonstrated for monitoring feto-placental function.
    • Significance in the context of malignant disease detection highlighted.

    Conclusions:

    • Pregnancy-specific and pregnancy-associated proteins are valuable biomarkers.
    • Their application in monitoring feto-placental health and malignancy shows promise.
    • Further research into novel applications and protein characterization is warranted.
