Prohibitin, an antiproliferative protein, is localized to mitochondria
Prohibitin is a ubiquitously expressed protein with antiproliferative properties. When rat prohibitin tagged with a carboxy‐terminal c‐Myc epitope was expressed in baby hamster kidney cells the protein was targeted to mitochondria. In immunofluorescence microscopy prohibitin colocalized with a mitochondrial marker E3. Immunoelectron microscopy revealed

Prohibitin-1 Transgenic Mice Revealed an Important Role of Prohibitin in Testicular Steroidogenesis
Abstract Testosterone, the male sex hormone, plays an important role in the sexual development and fertility. Consequently, its deficiency causes infertility, obesity, osteoporosis and cardiovascular diseases. Leydig cells (LCs) are the testicular interstitial cells responsible for the biosynthesis of testosterone in response to ...

Flavaglines Stimulate Transient Receptor Potential Melastatin Type 6 (TRPM6) Channel Activity. [PDF]
Magnesium (Mg2+) is essential for enzymatic activity, brain function and muscle contraction. Blood Mg2+ concentrations are tightly regulated between 0.7 and 1.1 mM by Mg2+ (re)absorption in kidney and intestine.

A Repressive Role for Prohibitin in Estrogen Signaling [PDF]
Nuclear receptor-mediated gene expression is regulated by corepressors and coactivators. In this study we demonstrate that prohibitin (PHB), a potential tumor suppressor, functions as a potent transcriptional corepressor for estrogen receptor alpha (ERalpha).

CRISPR-Cas9-mediated protein tagging in human cells for RESOLFT nanoscopy and the analysis of mitochondrial prohibitins [PDF]
Ectopic overexpression of fluorescent fusion proteins for live cell imaging studies often leads to a multitude of artefacts, but protein expression at endogenous levels in mammalian cells was difficult to achieve so far.
