Crohn's disease is a chronic inflammatory condition largely affecting the terminal ileum and large bowel. A contributing cause is the failure of an adequate acute inflammatory response as a result of impaired secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines by ...

The NF2 tumor suppressor gene encodes an intracellular membrane-associated protein, called merlin, which belongs to the band 4.1 family of cytoskeleton-associated proteins that link cell surface glycoproteins to actin cytoskeleton. Merlin suppresses PI 3-

Tamoxifen inhibits the biosynthesis of inositolphosphorylceramide in Leishmania
Previous work from our group showed that tamoxifen, an oral drug that has been in use for the treatment of breast cancer for over 40 years, is active both in vitro and in vivo against several species of Leishmania, the etiological agent of leishmaniasis.

Mammalian Phosphatidylinositol 4‐Kinases [PDF]
AbstractThree phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinase isoforms, PI4K 230, 92 and 55 have been cloned and sequenced allowing a much wider characterization than the previously employed enzymological typing into type II and III enzymes. PI4K 230 and 92 contain a highly conserved catalytic core, PI4K55 one with a much lower degree of similarity.

EHD1 and Eps15 Interact with Phosphatidylinositols via Their Eps15 Homology Domains*
The C-terminal Eps15 homology domain-containing protein, EHD1, regulates the recycling of receptors from the endocytic recycling compartment to the plasma membrane. In cells, EHD1 localizes to tubular and spherical recycling endosomes.

Glycophosphosphingolipid (GSPL) Purification Protocol
Glycosylated ceramide phosphorylinositol are present in many species of fungi and mushrooms and bacteria and parasitic organisms like leishmania. These are usually membrane raft associated and are not easily extracted by conventional methodologies.

Phosphatidylinositol-3,4,5-trisphosphate [PI(3,4,5)P3] is a phosphorylated derivative of phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate [PI(4)P] and phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate [PI(4,5)P2], which recruit and activate AKT in the plasma membrane (PM) to ...
