Emerging roles of protein disulfide isomerase in cancer
BMB Reports, 2017 The protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) family is a group of multifunctional endoplasmic reticulum (ER) enzymes that mediate the formation of disulfide bonds, catalyze the cysteine-based redox reactions and assist the quality control of client proteins ...

Comparison of the Recombinant Glucosephosphate Isomerase from Different Zymodemes of Entamoeba histolytica with Their Natural Counterparts by Isoenzyme Electrophoresis [PDF]
Iranian Journal of Public Health, 2005 Entamoeba histolytica is the etiological agent of invasive amoebiasis, the third leading parasitic cause of mortality in the world. Our aim was to find a molecular correlation between a glucosephosphate isomerase zymodeme analyses in E.

Glutathione Transferases as Efficient Ketosteroid Isomerases
Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2021 In addition to their well-established role in detoxication, glutathione transferases (GSTs) have other biological functions. We are focusing on the ketosteroid isomerase activity, which appears to contribute to steroid hormone biosynthesis in mammalian ...

The Unfolded Protein Response and the Role of Protein Disulfide Isomerase in Neurodegeneration
Front. Cell Dev. Biol., 2016 The maintenance and regulation of proteostasis is a critical function for post-mitotic neurons and its dysregulation is increasingly implicated in neurodegenerative diseases. Despite having different clinical manifestations, these disorders share similar
