Calmodulin antagonists stimulate renin secretion and inhibit renin synthesis in vitro [PDF]
, 1992 To find out whether calmodulin activity could be a common denominator for the cellular control of renin secretion and synthesis, we have examined the effects of calmodulin antagonists on the secretion and the synthesis of renin in primary cultures of ...

Regulated Secretion: Helper proteins for neuroendocrine secretion [PDF]
Current Biology, 1995 The granins, known to be general constituents of neuroendocrine secretory granules, are regulators of the proteolytic processing of peptide precursors and promote their aggregation-mediated sorting into secretory granules.

Heterogeneity in ess transcriptional organization and variable contribution of the Ess/Type VII protein secretion system to virulence across closely related Staphylocccus aureus strains [PDF]
, 2014 The Type VII protein secretion system, found in Gram-positive bacteria, secretes small proteins, containing a conserved W-x-G amino acid sequence motif, to the growth medium.

The role of TcdB and TccC subunits in secretion of the photorhabdus Tcd toxin complex [PDF]
, 2013 The Toxin Complex (TC) is a large multi-subunit toxin encoded by a range of bacterial pathogens. The best-characterized examples are from the insect pathogens Photorhabdus, Xenorhabdus and Yersinia.

Familial combined hyperlipidemia plasma stimulates protein secretion by HepG2 cells
Journal of Lipid Research, 2002 The aim of this study was to evaluate whether soluble factors in plasma of familial combined hyperlipidemia (FC333366) patients affect hepatic protein secretion. Cultured human hepatocytes, i.e., HepG2 cells, were incubated with fasting plasma (20%, v/v,

Exocytosis and protein secretion in Trypanosoma [PDF]
BMC Microbiology, 2010 Human African trypanosomiasis is a lethal disease caused by the extracellular parasite Trypanosoma brucei. The proteins secreted by T. brucei inhibit the maturation of dendritic cells and their ability to induce lymphocytic allogenic responses. To better understand the pathogenic process, we combined different approaches to characterize these secreted ...

Functional analysis of the short splicing variant encoded by CHI3L1/YKL-40 in glioblastoma
Frontiers in Oncology, 2022 The glycoprotein YKL-40 has been well studied as a serum biomarker of prognosis and disease status in glioblastoma. YKL-40 is a chitinase-like protein with defective chitinase activity that plays an important role in promoting cell proliferation ...
