Sphingosylphosphorylcholine is an activator of transglutaminase activity in human keratinocytes [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2001
We characterize functional roles of a newly discovered chemical, sphingosylphosphorylcholine (SPC), in the epidermis by elucidating the biological effect of SPC on human keratinocytes in culture. The intracellular calcium level of human keratinocytes was increased by incubation with SPC, but not with sphingosine (SS) or sphingomyelin (SM). The addition

Complete mitochondrial genomes of two water mite species: Hygrobates (H.) longiporus and Hygrobates (rivobates) taniguchii (Acari, Trombidiformes, Hygrobatoidea)

open access: yesMitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2020
We determined the complete mitochondrial genome sequences of two water mites, Hygrobates (Hygrobates) longiporus and H. (Rivobates) taniguchii. The length of the entire mitogenome of these two species is 13,721 bp and 13,770 bp long, respectively.
