  The gene SRD5A2 encodes the 5-α-reductase enzyme, which converts testosterone into dihydrotestosterone. Although dihydrotestosterone levels are considerably lower than testosterone, dihydrotestosterone has a five-fold stronger binding capacity to the androgen receptor and, thereby, a considerably mo

  Synthetic lethal approaches In addition to the potential utility of ATM and ATR as chemo- or radiosensitisers, recent studies suggest that such compounds may have single agent activity in certain subsets of patients through induction of synthetic lethality. Two genes are considered synthetically

  Based on its kinetic parameters and quaternary structure, R. pycnus arginase is a typical ureotelic L-arginase [2]. The Km value of the enzyme was lower than other arginases from other organisms (Table 2), including S. cerevisiae (15.7mM), B. anthracis (10mM), B. caldovelox (3.4mM), human liver (2.3

  Applications for protein switches are numerous. In diagnostics, protein switches can detect analytes as components of inexpensive homogeneous assays that do not require specialized equipment or time-consuming incubation and washing steps characteristic of immunoassays [8]. Protein switches have also

• Testosterone can be converted into estrogens by aromatase

  2024-07-31

  

  Testosterone can be converted into estrogens by aromatase action. Aromatase is encoded by CYP19, belongs to cytochrome P450 superfamily, and synthesizes estradiol (E2) and estrone (E1) from testosterone and androstenedione respectively (Fig. 1). Aromatase is expressed in the ORS of anagen hair folli

  Conflict of interest statement Introduction Tanshinone IIA (Tan IIA) is a major active component of Salvia miltiorrhiza (S. miltiorrhiza), a well-known Chinese traditional medicine that is used for the treatment of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases [1]. Tan IIA exhibits diverse pharm

  According to average serum fat content of 6.9 g/L (Phillips et al., 1989) and serum dioxin level from individuals exposed to dioxins as the result of accidents in Seveso (Needham et al., 1997), Taiwan (Guo et al., 2004) and Vietnam (The Tai et al., 2011) the median serum concentration of TCDD would

  Further evidence for action mechanism was provided by assays using [3H]nisoxetine, a selective NET inhibitor used as standard radioligand for competitive binding experiments. The results showed dose-dependent blocking of [3H]nisoxetine binding by both xylazine and dexmedetomidine. Nisoxetine binds t

  2024-07-30

  

  Constitutive tyrosine kinase activity of BCR/ABL fusion genes causes uncontrolled cell growth and is also thought to be responsible for a variety of changes in normal cellular functions like differentiation, adhesion, migration and apoptotic response in CML. Therefore it is important to know the exp

  Earlier studies revealed an interaction between HSP90β and ACK1 [15]. In the proteomic approach, we show that ACK1 associates with HSP90α and HSP90β. Additionally, we confirm the existence of a HSP90-ACK1 complex with co-IP experiments. We further analysed whether an inhibition of HSP90 affected the

  Introduction Myasthenia gravis (MG) is an autoimmune disease characterised by failure of transmission at the neuromuscular junction (NMJ). In 80–85% of myasthenia gravis patients, the disease is mediated by antibodies to the nicotinic Pertussis Toxin receptor (AChR; (Lindstrom et al., 1976). Many

  Introduction Fungi are an inexhaustible source of natural products mainly due to their wide distribution in the nature, estimated to range from 1.5 to 5.1 million species in the world [1]. Secondary metabolites from fungi represent a substantial fraction of drugs and drug models in pharmaceutical
