Sulfated plant peptide hormones. [PDF]
J Exp Bot, 2019 Abstract Sulfated peptides are plant hormones that are active at nanomolar concentrations. The sulfation at one or more tyrosine residues is catalysed by tyrosylprotein sulfotransferase (TPST), which is encoded by a single-copy gene. The sulfate group is provided by the co-substrate 3´-phosphoadenosine 5´-phosphosulfate (PAPS), which ...

Daily rhythms of diabetogenic factors in men: role of type 2 diabetes and body weight
Endocrine Connections, 2023 Obesity is a major cause of type 2 diabetes. Transition from obesity to type 2 diabetes manifests in the dysregulation of hormones controlling glucose homeostasis and inflammation. As metabolism is a dynamic process that changes ac ross 24 h, we assessed

The Cell Adhesion Activity of the Joining Peptide of Proopiomelanocortin
Molecules, 2023 Proopiomelanocortin (POMC) is a precursor protein of several peptide hormones, such as ACTH and β-endorphin. Almost all of the peptide hormones in POMC have been drastically investigated in terms of their biological activities.
