  Acknowledgments Introduction Steroidogenesis, the process of testosterone synthesis, occurs in the adrenal cortex, testis and ovary, and it is controlled by luteinizing hormone (LH), which is synthesized and secreted from the pituitary (Hanukoglu, 1992, Payne and Youngblood, 1995). In the testis

  The quaternary structure of many of the family B members (i.e., secretin, glucagon, glucagon-like peptide and secretin receptor receptors) have been actively studied and it has been demonstrated that they can form homodimers/oligomers (Gao et al., 2009; Ng & Chow, 2015; Ng, Lee, & Chow, 2013).

  2019-09-06

  

  Introduction Diacylglycerol kinase (DGK) is a lipid-metabolizing enzyme that phosphorylates diacylglycerol (DG) to produce phosphatidic erk definition (PA) [[1], [2], [3], [4]]. DG and PA act as lipid second messengers in a wide variety of biological processes. Ten DGK isozymes (α, β, γ, δ, η, κ

  DGKη1 (type II DGK) has a separated catalytic domain [10], [13], whereas the domains of DGKα, ε and ζ are not split [1], [2], [3], [4], [5]. Therefore, the structural difference may cause the distinct affinity for DG among these isozymes. Because other type II DGKs (η2, δ1, δ2 and κ) also have the s

  2019-09-06

  

  Although PGD was initially considered to elicit its biological actions through a classical PGD receptor (DP1), later findings suggested that several PGD-mediated actions of eosinophils arise via DP2,, which is also known as CRTH2 (chemoattractant receptor-homologous molecule expressed on Th2 cells).

  2019-09-06

  

  An intriguing feature of the pre and postsynaptic processes at the level of the VTA that have been shown to be mediated by CRF2 receptors [9], [34] is that they are exerted only by agonists with high affinity for both CRF2 receptors and CRF-BP. The four endogenous peptides of the CRF system have hig

  2019-09-05

  

  Plasminogen is composed of five N-terminal kringle domains and a C-terminal serine protease domain. The kringle domains have an affinity to lysine and binding of plasminogen with its receptors is dependent on its lysine interacting kringle domains [10], [28]. In the current report, we show that enol

  Phylogenetically three related CXC chemokines are classified as the possible ligands for the teleost CXCR1 and CXCR2. They are referred to as CXCL8_L1 (CXCL8/IL-8/CXCa), CXCL8_L2 (CXCc) and CXCL8_L3 (Alejo and Tafalla, 2011, Chen et al., 2013, Laing et al., 2002, Laing and Secombes, 2004, Nomiyama e

  A more refined picture of cholinesterase activity patterns may be obtained by measuring ChE activity of the same sample before and after addition of certain cholinesterase inhibitors, with differential specificity for different components of total ChE activity, such as BW284c51 (BW1,5-bis-(4-allyldi
