EH Domain-Containing 2 Deficiency Restricts Adipose Tissue Expansion and Impairs Lipolysis in Primary Inguinal Adipocytes

Frontiers in Physiology, 2021
Lipid uptake can be facilitated via caveolae, specific plasma membrane invaginations abundantly expressed in adipocytes. The dynamin-related protein EH domain-containing 2 (EHD2) stabilizes caveolae at the cell surface.

Activation by G protein beta gamma subunits of beta-adrenergic and muscarinic receptor kinase.

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1993
We have shown previously that GTP-binding regulatory protein (G protein) beta gamma subunits stimulate the agonist- or light-dependent phosphorylation of muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChRs) and rhodopsin by a protein kinase partially purified from porcine brain (mAChR kinase) but not the phosphorylation of rhodopsin by rhodopsin kinase (Haga, K.

Opposing Actions of Adrenocorticotropic Hormone and Glucocorticoids on UCP1-Mediated Respiration in Brown Adipocytes

Frontiers in Physiology, 2019
Brown fat is a potential target in the treatment of metabolic disorders as recruitment and activation of this thermogenic organ increases energy expenditure and promotes satiation.

Counter effects of Asiaticosids-D through putative neurotransmission on rotenone induced cerebral ganglionic injury in Lumbricus terrestris

IBRO Reports, 2019
Asiaticoside-D (AD) was shown to efficacy of ganglionic degenerated Lumbricus terrestris as a pioneering observation in our earlier research. Though, extract molecular mechanisms of AD for degenerative diseases (DDs) remains largely unknown.

Targeting protein–protein interactions within the cyclic AMP signaling system as a therapeutic strategy for cardiovascular disease [PDF]

, 2013
The cAMP signaling system can trigger precise physiological cellular responses that depend on the fidelity of many protein–protein interactions, which act to bring together signaling intermediates at defined locations within cells.

Beta-agonist stimulation ameliorates the phenotype of spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy mice and patient-derived myotubes [PDF]

, 2017
Spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy (SBMA) is a neuromuscular disease characterized by the loss of lower motor neurons. SBMA is caused by expansions of a polyglutamine tract in the gene coding for androgen receptor (AR).

Characterization and inhibition of β-adrenergic receptor kinase in intact myocytes [PDF]

Cardiovascular Research, 1997
beta-Adrenergic receptor kinase (beta ARK) phosphorylates and thereby inactivates agonist-occupied beta-adrenergic receptors (beta AR). beta ARK is thought to play an important role in the regulation of cardiac function. Therefore, we studied beta ARK activation and its inhibition in intact smooth muscle cells and in cardiomyoblasts.beta AR agonist ...

Norepinephrine Regulation of Adrenergic Receptor Expression, 5’ AMP-Activated Protein Kinase Activity, and Glycogen Metabolism and Mass in Male Versus Female Hypothalamic Primary Astrocyte Cultures

ASN Neuro, 2020
Norepinephrine (NE) control of hypothalamic gluco-regulation involves astrocyte-derived energy fuel supply. In male rats, exogenous NE regulates astrocyte glycogen metabolic enzyme expression in vivo through 5’-AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK ...

Regulation of Membrane Targeting of the G Protein-coupled Receptor Kinase 2 by Protein Kinase A and Its Anchoring Protein AKAP79 [PDF]

, 2001
The beta 2 adrenergic receptor (beta 2AR) undergoes desensitization by a process involving its phosphorylation by both protein kinase A (PKA) and G protein-coupled receptor kinases (GRKs). The protein kinase A-anchoring protein AKAP79 influences beta 2AR

Expression of beta-arrestins and beta-adrenergic receptor kinases in the failing human heart. [PDF]

Circulation Research, 1994
The beta-adrenergic receptor system of the failing human heart is markedly desensitized. We have recently postulated that this desensitization may in part be caused by an increase in beta-adrenergic receptor kinase (beta ARK) expression. beta ARK is thought to effect desensitization by acting in concert with an inhibitor protein, called beta-arrestin ...
