Quantification of calpastatin using an optical surface plasmon resonance biosensor

open access: yes, 2011
An immunological biosensor for calpastatin was developed on a surface plasmon resonance based system (Biacore Q). The performance of the biosensor assay was evaluated using ovine and bovine muscle and heart extracts with known calpastatin activity.

Calpain mediates epithelial cell microvillar effacement by enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2011
A member of the attaching and effacing (AE) family of pathogens, enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) induces dramatic changes to the intestinal cell cytoskeleton, including effacement of microvilli.

Extracellular Vesicles Derived From the Feces of Pregnant Women Modulate T Cells Toward a Pregnancy‐Supportive Phenotype In Vitro

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Immunology, Volume 55, Issue 9, September 2025.
Fecal extracellular vesicles (fEVs) were isolated from preserved stool samples in DNA/RNA shield and characterized. In an in vitro model with PBMC, fEVs of pregnant women modulate T cells toward a regulatory phenotype favorable for pregnancy compared to fEVs of non‐pregnant women. ABSTRACT Pregnancy requires immune tolerance to a semi‐allogeneic fetus,

Quantification of Calpastatin Using an Optical Surface Plasmon Resonance Biosensor [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
An immunological biosensor for calpastatin was developed on a surface plasmon resonance based system (Biacore Q). The performance of the biosensor assay was evaluated using ovine and bovine muscle and heart extracts with known calpastatin activity.

Modulation of rat brain calpastatin efficiency by post-translational modifications [PDF]

open access: yes, 1997
Calpains, the thiol proteinases of the calcium-dependent proteolytic system, are regulated by a natural inhibitor, calpastatin, which is present in brain tissue in two forms. Although both calpastatins are highly active on human erythrocyte calpain, only

Analysis of Population Structure and Selection Signatures in Two Iraqi Fat‐Tailed Sheep Breeds

open access: yesVeterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 5, September 2025.
Awassi sheep exhibit clear genetic separation, whereas Hamdani sheep show an admixed profile, with iHS, ROH and Tajima's D analyses identifying breed‐specific candidate genes. Enrichment in immune response, hormone regulation and cellular signalling pathways highlights adaptive evolution and guides future breeding and conservation.

Identification of active calpastatin molecular species.

open access: yes, 2012
A) Activity profiles of samples from 106 erythroid precursor cells isolated from control and patients with mild and severe clinical symptoms, respectively. Numbers at the bottom refer to the molecular weight of proteins present in the gel slices.

New allelic variant of the ovine calpastatin gene [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Calpastatin, a specific inhibitor of the calpains, participates in muscle growth and tenderization. Amplified fragment of 12 intron of CAST was used; the gene encoding calpastatin, from 164 lambs from synthetic lines for restriction fragment length ...

Short communication: Analysis of polymorphisms in candidate’s genes for meat quality in Lidia cattle

open access: yesSpanish Journal of Agricultural Research, 2016
The aim of this paper was to analyze the segregation of some polymorphisms in three genes (CAPN1, CAST and DGAT1) related to meat quality in the Lidia cattle breed and some of its main lineages.

Abstract 4755: Calpastatin phosphorylation regulates radiation response in glioblastoma

open access: yes, 2017
Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most prevalent and aggressive primary malignant brain tumor in adults. Patients diagnosed with GBM have a very poor prognosis and quality of life, with a median survival time of 12-15 months despite receiving the standard of ...
