Inhibitory Effect of CCK-8 on Methamphetamine-Induced Apoptosis
ObjectiveTo investigate the inhibitory effect of cholecystokinin octapeptide (CCK-8) binding to cholecystokinin 2 receptor (CCK2R) on methamphetamine (METH)-induced neuronal apoptosis, and to explore the signal transduction mechanism of β-arrestin 2 in ...

Targeted elimination of G proteins and arrestins defines their specific contributions to both intensity and duration of G protein-coupled receptor signalling [PDF]
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) can initiate intracellular signalling cascades by coupling to an array of heterotrimeric G proteins and arrestin adaptor proteins. Understanding the contribution of each of these coupling options to GPCR signalling has

CD133 induces tumour-initiating properties in HEK293 cells [PDF]
The pentaspan protein CD133 (Prominin-1) is part of the signature of tumour-initiating cells for various cancer entities. The aim of the present study was to investigate the impact of ectopic CD133 expression on tumourigenic properties of otherwise CD133-negative, non-tumourigenic cells in vitro and in vivo.

Myricetin inhibits Kv1.5 channels in HEK293 cells
Myricetin (Myr) is a flavonoid that exerts anti-arrhythmic effects. However, its potential effects on ion channels have remained elusive. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of Myr on Kv1.5 channels in HEK293 cells. The current of Kv1.5 channels (Ikur) in HEK293 cells was recorded using the whole-cell patch-clamp technique and ...

Culture of HEK293-EBNA1 Cells for Production of Recombinant Proteins [PDF]
INTRODUCTIONFast and efficient production of recombinant proteins (r-proteins) remains a major challenge for the academic and biopharmaceutical communities. Pure r-proteins are often required in large amounts (hundreds of milligrams to gram quantities) when being developed as biotherapeutics, or in smaller quantities (milligrams) for high-throughput ...

The aminopeptidase B (Ap-B) is phosphorylated in HEK293 cells
Proteolysis is a post-translational modification (PTM) that affects the whole proteome. First regarded as only destructive, it is more precise than expected. It is finely regulated by other PTMs like phosphorylation. Aminopeptidase B (Ap-B), a M1 metallopeptidase, hydrolyses the peptide bond on the carbonyl side of basic residues at the NH2-terminus of
