• Activation of sGC induces the generation

  2022-05-10

  

  Activation of sGC induces the generation of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP), phosphorylation of protein kinase G (PKG) and changes in activity of effector proteins such as phosphodiesterases (PDE), ion channels and ion pumps [43]. This pathway eventually leads to dilation of notch signaling pa

  2022-05-10

  

  NCSs are α-helical proteins containing four EF-hand motifs with EF1 being incapable of Ca-binding throughout the family (atomic-resolution structure was firstly resolved for recoverin [5]; for review on NCS structure, see [6]). Some of the NCS proteins (i.e. recoverin and KChIP3) have two while othe

  2022-05-10

  

  Concerning the molecular mechanisms underlying transcriptional regulation of the GSTP1-1 gene expression we and others have characterized structural and functional properties of the human GSTP1-1 promoter. GSTP1-1 gene promoter activity is driven by a TATA-box [16] as well as Spl [16], [17], AP-1 [1

  2022-05-10

  

  Glutathione in reduced form (GSH, the tripeptide, γ-glutamyl cysteinyl glycine) is a non-enzymatic low-molecular-weight antioxidant necessary for the maintenance of a cellular redox state (Noctor et al., 2012). At the stage of the transition from germination to seedling growth the process of cell di

  In an attempt to gain increased molecular insights into in vivo transmigration of neutrophils, we applied an aseptic inflammatory skin chamber model. In this model, recruitment of neutrophils is typically associated with phenotypic changes of many plasma membrane localized adhesion receptors in peri

  Introduction The onset of uterine labor is the culmination of a gradual uterine activation wherein physiological inflammation induces a common prolabor pathway characterized by increased myometrial contractility, weakening of fetal membrane integrity, and cervical ripening. Pathological proinflamma

  2022-05-10

  

  Among prostaglandins (PG), PGD2 remained the most elusive species for a long time and was initially regarded as having negligible biological activity [1]. In 1974 its inhibitory effect on platelet aggregation was discovered by Smith et al. [2] and Mills & McFarlain [3], and both pressor and depresso

  Molecular properties as well as metabolic stability in rat and human liver microsomes for the most active nitro (), nitrile (), methylsulfone (), and sulfonamides () analogues were measured (). All these derivatives possessed excellent membrane permeability as measured in the Pampa assay and further

  Materials and methods Results In this study we re-examined the kinetics of ET transport and tested the ability of various suggested substrates of OCNT1 to inhibit ET uptake. Using a native ET transporter expressed in the human HeLa cell line ET was found to be taken up with a Km of 51 μM and V

  The chemical structure of BAs consists of a steroid nucleus with an acidic side chain. They are amphipatic molecules characterized by a hydrophilic α-face and a hydrophobic β-face. The hydrophobic pocket of the FXR LBD interacts with BAs largely through the β-face. The α-face contains several hydrox
