Differential expression of two barley SNF1-related protein-kinase genes

, 1995
We have amplified and cloned DNA sequences derived from a gene encoding a SNF1 (sucrose-nonfermenting 1)-related protein kinase which differs from that previously reported from barley.

The Isolation, Cloning, and Sequencing of the Porcine Agouti-Related Protein (agrp) Gene and a Novel G-protein Sequence

, 2000
The aim of this study was to determine whether the Agouti-related protein (agrp) gene was present in the porcine genome. Using the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) a 978 bp DNA fragment, agrp, was amplified from porcine genomic DNA.

Expression of agouti-related peptide, neuropeptide Y, pro-opiomelanocortin and the leptin receptor isoforms in fetal mouse brain from pregnant dams on a protein-restricted diet

, 2005
Expression of agouti-related peptide, neuropeptide Y, pro-opiomelanocortin and leptin receptor isoforms were found in fetal mouse brain at embryonic day 12 (E12).

Polymorphism in the Agouti-related Protein (agrp) Gene in Swine

, 2002
The agouti-related protein (agrp) gene encodes a gene product that regulates components of energy homeostasis - appetite, food intake, body composition, physical activity, basal metabolic rate and others. The protein encoded by agrp binds to melanocortin

Cellular and metabolic function of GIRK1 potassium channels expressed by arcuate POMC and NPY/AgRP neurons

Molecules and Cells
: It is well known that the G protein-gated inwardly rectifying K+ (GIRK) channels are critical to maintain excitability of central neurons. GIRK channels consist of 4 subunits and GIRK1/GIRK2 heterotetramers are considered to be the neuronal prototype ...

N-terminal domains and site-specific glycosylation regulate the secretion of avian melanocortin inverse agonists, agouti signaling protein (ASIP) and agouti-related protein (AGRP)

Agouti signaling protein (ASIP) and agouti-related protein (AGRP) are paralogous inverse agonists of melanocortin receptors with distinct physiological roles, but their structural and biochemical properties in birds remain poorly understood.

Upregulation of adipocyte metabolism by agouti protein: possible paracrine actions in yellow mouse obesity

, 1996
Mutations leading to ectopic expression of the murine agouti gene (a) result in progressive obesity. To further characterize this model, we analyzed adipose and hepatic mRNA levels for fatty acid synthase (FAS) and stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD), two key ...

UCP2 mediates mitochondrial dynamics to induce AgRP neuronal activity

Molecular Metabolism
Objectives: The hypothalamic agouti-related protein (AgRP)- expressing neurons regulate feeding and whole-body energy homeostasis. A growing body of evidence indicates that changes in mitochondrial dynamics, such as fission and fusion, play a crucial ...

Agouti Signaling Protein Inhibits Melanogenesis and the Response of Human Melanocytes to α-Melanotropin

, 1997
In mouse follicular melanocytes, the switch between eumelanin and pheomelanin synthesis is regulated by the extension locus, which encodes the melanocortin-1 receptor (MC1R) and the agouti locus, which encodes a novel paracrine-signaling molecule that ...

The agouti gene in black and brown alpaca

, 2013
The agouti gene encodes agouti signalling protein (ASIP) which regulates pheomelanin and eumelanin synthesis in mammals. To investigate the role of agouti in coat color variation of alpaca, we characterised the agouti gene on 27 black and 12 brown ...
