  2021-09-13

  

  Structurally, the termini of FGF21 are critical for effective signaling. Progressive amino Chlorothiazide truncation at either end of the protein sequentially impairs FGF21 bioactivity, but via different mechanisms. Shortening at the N-terminus weakens its ability to activate the FGFR/KLB-complex b

  2021-09-13

  

  Tyr23 phosphorylation of AnxA2 was first reported to be involved in endocytosis, particularly in the internalisation of the insulin receptor [20]. Phosphorylated Tyr23 seems to be necessary for the stable association of AnxA2 with endosomes, and for their early-stage transport [14]. The role of AnxA

  Obesity is one of the worldwide concerns, with high prevalence and adverse effects on human health and life expectancy. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), obesity is defined as abnormal or excessive fat accumulation in the body with body mass index (BMI) of 30 or more. Obesity increas

  2021-09-11

  

  MAP4Ks act at the level of MST1/2 to phosphorylate LATS1/2 and regulate the Hippo pathway (Box 1). Of particular interest is the involvement of MAP4K4, a key metabolic regulator [88] and common polymorphisms in the MAP4K4 locus are associated with T2D and insulin resistance [89] in adipogenesis. In

  2021-09-11

  

  We found that most antigenic regions in GlyT1C are located in the second half of the GlyT1C-terminus, which is in concert with previously published results (Olivares et al., 1994). We however further show that in contrast to epitopes 554–625 which are affected by calcium only minimally, the epitopes

  2021-09-11

  

  The increased levels of proinflammatory cytokines in BALF are noted during ALI/ARDS, and the persistent elevation of these mediators may exaggerate systemic or focal inflammatory reaction with a worse outcome. These cytokines, particularly TNF-α and IL-6, play essential roles in ALI [16,17]. The ove

  Introduction Soluble guanylyl cyclase (GC-1) maintains vascular function through the NO/GC-1/cGMP pathway [1,2] by catalyzing the conversion of GTP into cGMP (Fig. 1). The GC-1 heme prosthetic group binds NO with picomolar affinity, resulting in a 100- to 200-fold increase in catalytic activity.

  Studies with GSNOR knockout mice reported decreased CD4+ Epoxomicin and increased CD19+ cells (B-cell) in the blood [31] as well as demyelination, neurodegeneration, and neuropathic pain [29]. To understand the basis of these differences in immune function of GSNOR knockout mice and GSNO treated mi

  GSK-3 is a critical component of the Wnt signaling pathway. The Wnt/beta-catenin signal transduction pathway is important in normal growth and development and is also frequently dysregulated in cancer and other diseases. The Wnt/beta-catenin pathway is finely tuned by both positive and negative inte

  Recently, we suggested that KYNA – an endogenous GPR35 agonist could be produced in a human cornea since we showed the presence of the enzymes that catalyze the synthesis of KYNA – kynurenine aminotransferases I-III in corneal epithelium, stroma and endothelium (). Therefore, these findings provided

  The structure and activity of GLUT1 has been most intensively studied in erythrocytes, in which this transporter makes up 10–20% of membrane protein content.
