One Single Nucleotide Polymorphism of the TRPM2 Channel Gene Identified as a Risk Factor in Bipolar Disorder Associates with Autism Spectrum Disorder in a Japanese Population

Diseases, 2020
The transient receptor potential melastatin 2 (TRPM2) is a non-specific cation channel, resulting in Ca2+ influx at warm temperatures from 34 °C to 47 °C, thus including the body temperature range in mammals.

Inhibition of ADP-ribosyl cyclase attenuates angiotensin II-induced cardiac hypertrophy [PDF]

Cardiovascular Research, 2008
Here, we report the discovery of a small molecule inhibitor, 2,2'-dihydroxyazobenzene (DAB), of ADP ribosyl cyclase (ADPR-cyclase) and showed that this inhibitor attenuated angiotensin (Ang) II-induced hypertrophic responses.and results The intracellular concentration of free Ca(2+) [Ca(2+)](i) in adult rat cardiomyocytes was measured by using a ...

Anxiety- and depression-like behavior in mice lacking the CD157/BST1 gene, a risk factor for Parkinson’s disease

Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2014
CD157, known as bone marrow stromal cell antigen-1, is a glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored ADP-ribosyl cyclase that supports the survival and function of B-lymphocytes and hematopoietic or intestinal stem cells. Although CD157/Bst1 is a risk locus in

Bacillus anthracis edema factor substrate specificity: evidence for new modes of action [PDF]

, 2012
Since the isolation of Bacillus anthracis exotoxins in the 1960s, the detrimental activity of edema factor (EF) was considered as adenylyl cyclase activity only.

Purification and characterization of CD38/ADP‐ribosyl cyclase from rat lung [PDF]

IUBMB Life, 1998
AbstractPurification and characterization of CD38/ADP‐ribosyl cyctase in the rat lung tissue was performed with microsomes solubilized in Triton X‐100 and the ADP‐ribosyl cyclase was then purified using sequential column chromatography. Partially purified rat lung ADP‐ribosyl cyclase was analyzed by immunoblotting using an antibody raised against a ...

Design, synthesis and biological characterization of novel inhibitors of CD38 [PDF]

, 2011
Human CD38 is a novel multi-functional protein that acts not only as an antigen for B-lymphocyte activation, but also as an enzyme catalyzing the synthesis of a Ca 2+ messenger molecule, cyclic ADP-ribose, from NAD +.

The ADP-ribosyl cyclases - the current evolutionary state of the ARCs [PDF]

Frontiers in Bioscience, 2014
The major ADP-ribosylating enzyme families are the focus of this special issue of Frontiers in Bioscience . However, there is room for another family of enzymes with the capacity to utilize nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD): the ADP-ribosyl cyclases (ARCs).
