In vivo function of NGF/TrkA signaling in the cholinergic neurons of the murine basal forebrain [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
The neurotrophins are a family of secreted proteins that potently regulate diverse neuronal responses. The neurotrophin nerve growth factor (NGF) and its receptors TrkA and p75 are well characterized to control survival, differentiation and function of ...

Padrões de variabilidade do gene ASIP (agouti signaling protein) em mamíferos [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
O melanismo em mamíferos decorre principalmente da atividade de dois genes: MC1R (Melanocortin-1 Receptor), cujo produto induz a produção de eumelanina (pretomarrom); e ASIP (Agouti Signaling Protein), que codifica um peptídeo antagonista que promove a ...

Goat agouti gene polymorphism and its association with coat color in indigenous turkish goat breeds

open access: yes, 2012
Agouti gene has an important effect on pigment synthesis in mammals. It encodes Agouti signaling protein, which stimulates the phaeomelanin synthesis resulting red, yellow coat color.

Molecular characterization of the mouse agouti locus

open access: yes, 1994
The agouti locus in mouse chromosome 2 regulates the differential production of eumelanin (black or brown) and phaeomelanin (yellow) pigment granules. Agouti coloration, which is the true wild-type coat color of mice, arises because the individual hair ...

The natural inverse agonist agouti-related protein induces arrestin-mediated endocytosis of melanocortin-3 and-4 receptors

open access: yes, 2006
Agouti-related protein (Agrp), one of the two naturally occurring inverse agonists known to inhibit G protein-coupled receptor activity, regulates energy expenditure by decreasing basal and blocking agonist-promoted melanocortin receptor (MCR) signaling.

Characterization, tissue distribution and regulation by fasting of the agouti family of peptides in the sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax)

open access: yes, 2017
The melanocortin system is one of the most complex hormonal systems in vertebrates. Atypically, the signaling of melanocortin receptors is regulated by the binding of endogenous antagonists, named agouti-signaling protein (ASIP) and agouti-related ...

Pharmacological therapies for monogenic obesity caused by MC4R dysfunction

open access: yes, 2010
PhDMutations in the melanocortin-4 receptor (MC4R) are the most common cause of monogenic obesity. The majority of MC4R mutations are predicted to cause the receptor to aberrantly fold.
