ADENYLYL CYCLASE ASSAYS TO MEASURE MACROPHAGE CHEMOTACTIC PROTEIN-1 RECEPTOR FUNCTION
Iranian Journal of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, 2000 Adenylyl cyclase is a membrane-bound enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of ATP to cAMP. The inhibition of adenylyl cyclase was carried out by measuring the ability of the macrophage chemotactic protein-1 to inhibit the torskolin-induced enzyme activity.

Dysfunction of outer segment guanylate cyclase caused by retinal disease related mutations
Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2014 Membrane bound guanylate cyclases are expressed in rod and cone cells of the vertebrate retina and mutations in several domains of rod outer segment guanylate cyclase 1 (ROS-GC1 encoded by the gene GUCY2D) correlate with different forms of retinal ...

Retention of differentiated properties in an established dog kidney epithelial cell line (MDCK). [PDF]
, 1979 Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells grown in tissue culture have the morphological properties of distal tubular epithelial cells, form tight junctions, and lack several proximal tubular enzyme markers.

Chemotaxis of Arbacia punctulata spermatozoa to resact, a peptide from the egg jelly layer [PDF]
, 1985 Resact, a peptide of known sequence isolated from the jelly layer of Arbacia punctulata eggs, is a potent chemoattractant for A. punctulata spermatozoa. The chemotactic response is concentration dependent, is abolished by pretreatment of the spermatozoa ...

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1974 Abstract A new rapid and reliable assay for guanylate cyclase was established, which employs a simple procedure to isolate guanosine 3' : 5'-monophosphate with neutral aluminum oxide and Dowex 1 formate columns. Using this assay guanylate cyclase was purified about 30-fold from rat brain soluble fraction by ammonium sulfate fractionation, followed by ...

A homolog of the vertebrate pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide is both necessary and instructive for the rapid formation of associative memory in an invertebrate [PDF]
, 2010 Similar to other invertebrate and vertebrate animals, cAMP dependent signaling cascades are key components of long-term memory (LTM) formation in the snail Lymnaea stagnalis, an established experimental model for studying evolutionarily conserved ...

Cells, 2019 Adenylyl cyclase type 5 (AC5), as the principal isoform expressed in striatal medium spiny neurons (MSNs), is essential for the integration of both stimulatory and inhibitory midbrain signals that initiate from dopaminergic G protein-coupled receptor ...

Stimulation of electro-olfactogram responses in the main olfactory epithelia by airflow depends on the type 3 adenylyl cyclase [PDF]
, 2012 Cilia of olfactory sensory neurons are the primary sensory organelles for olfaction. The detection of odorants by the main olfactory epithelium (MOE) depends on coupling of odorant receptors to the type 3 adenylyl cyclase (AC3) in olfactory cilia.

Enhanced Production of Astaxanthin and Zeaxanthin by Paracoccus Sp. LL1 Through Random Mutagenesis
Biotechnology and Applied Biochemistry, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Astaxanthin, a high‐value carotenoid with potent antioxidant and anti‐inflammatory activities, is increasingly in demand in various industries. This study reports the successful enhancement of astaxanthin and zeaxanthin production in Paracoccus sp. LL1 through random mutagenesis using ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS).

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016 The first committed step of sterol biosynthesis is the cyclisation of 2,3-oxidosqualene to form either lanosterol or cycloartenol. This is catalyzed by an oxidosqualene cyclase.
