  2021-02-22

  

  The COMT gene maps to chromosome 22q11.2 (Grossman et al., 1992) and has two protein isoforms. The differences between S-COMT and longer MB-COMT are in the N-termini, which use alternative translation initiation sites and promoters. These two isoforms display different affinity and capacity for COMT

  Since the aggregation of neurotoxic forms of Aβ plays a pivotal role in AD pathogenesis, an approach that using small molecules to bind Aβ monomers and prevent their assembly into cytotoxic oligomers attracts great interest for the development of AD drugs. Therefore, the potential inhibitory activit

  2021-02-22

  

  It has long been known that native BChE is a major factor in the inactivation of cocaine, an ester-type drug of abuse [190]. But recently some researchers conceived the idea that BChE mutations could improve that function to a point that would favorably impact cocaine overdose. Rapid progress was ma

  2021-02-22

  

  Chk1 and Chk2 are functionally redundant protein kinases that respond to checkpoint signals emanating from the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase family members ATM (ataxia-telangiectasia mutated) and ATR (Ataxia-telangiectasia and Rad-3 related). A concerted research effort has revealed many mechanistic

  Pathophysiology of premature ovarian failure By the age of 40 years, 1% of women spontaneously develop POF [18]. The normal menopause occurs at an average age of 51 years [19] and results from ovarian follicle depletion [20], whereas POF is a heterogeneous disorder and can result from either foll

  p21 and p16, which are downstream of pAkt and pERK1/2, are tumor suppressors which induce cell senescence and CCK-8 arrest [[56], [57], [58]]. Inhibitors of pAkt or pERK1/2 can activate p21 and p16 and promote cell senescence and cell cycle arrest [11,12,[59], [60], [61]]. It is well known that p21

  Collagen type 1 is the most abundant extracellular matrix (ECM) protein found in vertebrates. Collagen exerts its role as a load bearing structure and regulator of cell function, only after it has assembled into fibrils., The equilibrium between the synthesis and degradation of collagen fibrils and

  2021-02-22

  

  The first hint that GLP-1 might not be completely stable came from a meeting abstract in 1992, reporting that GLP-1 could be degraded in plasma incubations [16], although the enzyme(s) involved was not identified. A year later, Mentlein and colleagues [17], in a search for peptide substrates of the

  In the present study, DRD3 decreased in the VTA of OA when compared with the control group. It is reported that DRD3 in the VTA control the firing rate of dopaminergic neurons and inhibition of these receptors enhance firing in the VTA-projecting neurons [18]. A study also indicated that morphine tr

  Compounds that interact with MDR1 can do so by different mechanisms. Verapamil is known to modulate drug resistance by acting as a competitive MDR1 substrate [36]. Interestingly, NU7441 has similar growth inhibitory activity in the sensitive and resistant ap15 and there was no observed reduction in

  Experimentally measured DGAT activity was first reported by Weiss et al. (1960) and several different types of DGAT enzyme have since been described in plants [12,41,42]. As recently as 2011 there appeared to be just two DGAT enzymes both in plants and in other eukaryotes, namely DGAT1 and DGAT2 [43

  Intriguingly, our laboratory has shown that the I638F kinase domain mutant, unlike the L63V and G505 mutants, is incapable of receptor autophosphorylation and activation of its downstream effector SHP-2 when exposed to collagen stimulation. These data indicate that I638F is a loss of function mutati

  Almost all previously published haplotype association studies have demonstrated the importance of haplotype reconstruction because the combinations of SNPs exert synergistic effects on protein function. Even synonymous polymorphisms within haplotypes can have functional consequences that are drastic
