Paracrine ADP Ribosyl Cyclase-Mediated Regulation of Biological Processes [PDF]
ADP-ribosyl cyclases (ADPRCs) catalyze the synthesis of the Ca2+-active second messengers Cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR) and ADP-ribose (ADPR) from NAD+ as well as nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAADP+) from NADP+. The best characterized ADPRC

The Na<sup>+</sup>/K<sup>+</sup>-ATPase β1 Subunit is a Kidney ADP-Ribosyl Cyclase. [PDF]
This study highlights that the β1 subunit of Na, K‐ATPase, known as Atp1b1, functions as an ADP‐ribosyl cyclase in rat kidney (kARC). We found that reducing Atp1b1 expression in mouse mesangial cells suppressed angiotensin II (AngII)–induced synthesis of cyclic ADP‐ribose (cADPR) and the associated sustained Ca2+ signaling.

L-thyroxine modifies nephrotoxicity by regulating the apoptotic pathway: The possible role of CD38/ADP-ribosyl cyclase-mediated calcium mobilization. [PDF]
Thyroid hormones are well-established as a key regulator of many cellular metabolic pathways developed in various pathogeneses. Here, we dedicated the current work to investigate the role of thyroid hormone analogue (L-thyroxine, L-TH) in regulating the ...

Characterization of ADP-ribosyl cyclase 1-like (ARC1-like) activity and NAADP signaling during slow muscle cell development in zebrafish embryos. [PDF]
We recently demonstrated the requirement of two-pore channel type 2 (TPC2)-mediated Ca2+ release during slow muscle cell differentiation and motor circuit maturation in intact zebrafish embryos.

Antibacterial ADP-ribosyl cyclase toxins inhibit bacterial growth by rapidly depleting NAD(P). [PDF]
In metazoans, enzymes belonging to the bifunctional ADP-ribosyl cyclase/cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPr) hydrolase family regulate diverse cellular processes by synthesizing and hydrolyzing the intracellular second messenger cADPr, derived from the electron ...

Pathological Mechanisms in Sjögren's Disease Likely Involve the ADP-Ribosyl Cyclase Family Members: CD38 and CD157. [PDF]
Peripheral blood serves both as a source of effector immune cells that migrate to exocrine glands and as a reflection of the immunological changes occurring in patients with Sjögren’s disease (SjD).
