Cytokines and proteoglycans [PDF]
Experientia, 1993 Cytokines play an important regulatory role in the metabolism of proteoglycans. Proteoglycans are found in plasma membranes, but predominantly in the extra-cellular matrix. In the latter they are quantitatively and qualitatively essential components. Especially in a tissue like cartilage without any blood vessels, the cells are dependent on cytokines ...

Undervalued ubiquitous proteins
4 open, 2019 The role of ubiquitous proteins (UPs) and their corresponding enzymes have been underestimated in carcinogenesis as the focus of much research revolved around measuring mutations and/or other genetic epiphenomena as surrogate markers of cancer and cancer

An amino-terminal extension is required for the secretion of chick agrin and its binding to extracellular matrix. [PDF]
, 1995 Agrin is an extracellular matrix (ECM) protein with a calculated relative molecular mass of more than 200 kD that induces the aggregation of acetylcholine receptors (AChRs) at the neuromuscular junction. This activity has been mapped to its COOH terminus.

Endocan - a potential diagnostic marker for early onset sepsis in neonates
Journal of Infection in Developing Countries, 2019 Introduction: Neonatal early onset sepsis assessment is based on the history of pregnancy and delivery and nonspecific clinical signs. None of the biomarkers currently in use for clinical practice has adequate prognostic value, so it is not possible to ...
