A Common Genetic Background for Psoriasis and Cardiovascular Diseases: A Narrative Review. [PDF]

Health Sci Rep
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Psoriasis is an immune‐mediated disease affecting primarily the skin and joints, but which also has systemic implications. There are assumptions about a common genetic background between psoriasis and cardiovascular diseases.

KBE009: A Bestatin-Like Inhibitor of the Trypanosoma cruzi Acidic M17 Aminopeptidase with In Vitro Anti-Trypanosomal Activity

Life, 2021
Chagas disease, caused by the kinetoplastid parasite Trypanosoma cruzi, is a human tropical illness mainly present in Latin America. The therapies available against this disease are far from ideal. Proteases from pathogenic protozoan have been considered

Molecular characterization of a puromycin‐insensitive leucyl‐specific aminopeptidase, PILS‐AP [PDF]

European Journal of Biochemistry, 2000
The family M1 of Zn‐dependent aminopeptidases comprises members of closely related enzymes which are known to be involved in a variety of physiologically important processes. On the basis of two highly conserved peptide motifs, we have identified a new member of this family by PCR amplification and cDNA‐library screening.

Salt Priming as a Smart Approach to Mitigate Salt Stress in Faba Bean (Vicia faba L.)

Plants, 2022
The present investigation aims to highlight the role of salt priming in mitigating salt stress on faba bean. In the absence of priming, the results reflected an increase in H2O2 generation and lipid peroxidation in plants subjected to 200 mM salt shock ...

Urinary aminopeptidase activities as early and predictive biomarkers of renal dysfunction in cisplatin-treated rats. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
This study analyzes the fluorimetric determination of alanyl- (Ala), glutamyl- (Glu), leucyl-cystinyl- (Cys) and aspartyl-aminopeptidase (AspAp) urinary enzymatic activities as early and predictive biomarkers of renal dysfunction in cisplatin-treated ...

The monoclonal antibody ER-BMDM1 recognizes a macrophage and dendritic cell differentiation antigen with aminopeptidase activity [PDF]

, 1992
Here we describe the reactivity of monoclonal antibody (mAb) ER-BMDM1, directed against a 160-kDa cell membrane-associated antigen (Ag) with aminopeptidase activity.

Potential Activities and Long Lifetimes of Organic Carbon-Degrading Extracellular Enzymes in Deep Subsurface Sediments of the Baltic Sea

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Heterotrophic microorganisms in marine sediments produce extracellular enzymes to hydrolyze organic macromolecules, so their products can be transported inside the cell and used for energy and growth. Therefore, extracellular enzymes may mediate the fate
