Peutz-Jeghers LKB1 mutants fail to activate GSK-3β, preventing it from inhibiting Wnt signaling [PDF]
Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS) is caused by germline mutations in the LKB1 gene, which encodes a serine-threonine kinase that regulates cell proliferation and polarity. This autosomal dominant disorder is characterized by mucocutaneous melanin pigmentation,

Identification and characterization of kidney glomerulus-associated genes and proteins [PDF]
The kidney glomerulus is a micro-organ comprised of a molecular filtration barrier that prevents the loss of blood proteins into the primary filtrate. This function is dependent on the coordination of its three constituent layers: the endothelium, the ...

GIV/Girdin is a central hub for profibrogenic signalling networks during liver fibrosis. [PDF]
Progressive liver fibrosis is characterized by the deposition of collagen by activated hepatic stellate cells (HSCs). Activation of HSCs is a multiple receptor-driven process in which profibrotic signals are enhanced and antifibrotic pathways are ...

Erk5 is a mediator to TGFβ1-induced loss of phenotype and function in human podocytes. [PDF]
Background: Podocytes are highly specialized cells integral to the normal functioning kidney, however, in diabetic nephropathy injury occurs leading to a compromised phenotype and podocyte dysfunction which critically produces podocyte loss with ...

Role of podocalyxin in hematopoiesis and cell migration
CD34 and its relatives, Podocalyxin and Endoglycan, comprise of a family of surface sialomucins expressed by hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells, and vascular endothelia. Recent data suggest that they serve as either pro- or anti-adhesion molecules depending on their cellular context and their post-translational modifications.
