Phosphatidylethanol is formed by phospholipase D in animal cells exposed to ethanol. Previous reports have demonstrated that the degradation of phosphatidylethanol is slow, indicating that this lipid may be present in the cells after ethanol itself has ...

The striatum plays an important role in linking cortical activity to basal ganglia outputs. Group I metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) are densely expressed in the medium spiny projection neurons and may be a therapeutic target for Parkinson's ...

The Role of FAK ( Focal Adhesion Kinase) in Fertilization of Starfish Asterina Miniata PLC [PDF]
Fertilization need increased the concentration of Ca+ for egg activation. Inositol 1,4,5- trisphosphate (IP3), the second messenger of phospholipase Cγ, regulates the initial calcium rise from egg’s endoplasmic reticulum.

The potential for biased signalling in the P2Y receptor family of GPCRs
The purinergic receptor family is primarily activated by nucleotides, and contains members of both the G protein coupled‐receptor (GPCR) superfamily (P1 and P2Y) and ligand‐gated ion channels (P2X). The P2Y receptors are widely expressed in the human body, and given the ubiquitous nature of nucleotides, purinergic signalling is involved with a plethora

Voltage-dependent anion channels: different isoforms for different functions [PDF]
The Voltage-dependent anion channel (VDAC) is the most abundant protein of the outer mitochondrial membrane (OMM) and mediates the flow of ions and metabolites between the cytoplasm and the mitochondrial network.

Inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphates (Ins(1,3,4,5)P4), 32P-labelled in positions 4 and 5 were prepared enzymatically, using [4-32P]-phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PtdInsP) and [5-32P]phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PtdInsP2) as substrates ...

Myo-inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate can independently mobilise intracellular calcium, via the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor: studies with myo-inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate-3-phosphorothioate and myo-inositol hexakisphosphate [PDF]
Myo-inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate [Ins(1,3,4,5)P4] acts as a full agonist for Ca2+ release in saponin-permeabilised SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells. Studies were conducted in the presence of myo-inositol hexakisphosphate (InsP6, 10 μM), to inhibit the ...

Impact of incretin analogues on lipid and lipoprotein metabolism in obesity and diabetes
Abstract Incretin‐based therapies have gained momentum as a key strategy for reducing cardiovascular risk in individuals with obesity and/or type 2 diabetes (T2D). It remains unclear whether the cardiovascular benefits reflect a direct reduction in atherogenic lipoproteins—namely, low‐density lipoproteins (LDL), very low‐density lipoproteins (VLDL) and

Structure and Function of Inositol 1,4,5-Trisphosphate Receptor
Generation of intracellular Ca2+ signals in response to Ca(2+)-mobilizing stimuli is a critical event in the control of many cellular processes. Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) represents a dominant second messenger subserving the release of Ca2+ from intracellular store sites.

Relative importance of inositol (1,4,5)trisphosphate and inositol (1,3,4,5)tetrakisphosphate in Entamoeba histolytica [PDF]
[3H]Inositol tetrakisphosphate (Ins(1,3,4,5)P4) binding sites which were poorly displaced by unlabelled inositol (1,4,5)-trisphosphate (Ins(1,4,5)P3) were detected in membrane fractions of Entamoeba histolytica.
