Kappa opioid receptor activation alleviates experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis and promotes oligodendrocyte-mediated remyelination

Nature Communications, 2016
Current treatments of multiple sclerosis are aimed at immunosuppression. Here the authors show that kappa opioid receptor is important for oligodendrocyte differentiation and myelination and the receptor agonists are protective in a mouse model of ...

An ultrasensitive sorting mechanism for EGF receptor endocytosis [PDF]

, 2008
Background The EGF receptor has been shown to internalize via clathrin-independent endocytosis (CIE) in a ligand concentration dependent manner. From a modeling point of view, this resembles an ultrasensitive response, which is the ability of signaling ...

Functional expression of the polymeric immunoglobulin receptor from cloned cDNA in fibroblasts. [PDF]

, 1986
The polymeric immunoglobulin receptor, a transmembrane protein, is made by a variety of polarized epithelial cells. After synthesis, the receptor is sent to the basolateral surface where it binds polymeric IgA and IgM.

De-novo design of complementary (antisense) peptide mini-receptor inhibitor of interleukin 18 (IL-18).

, 2004
Complementary (antisense) peptide mini-receptor inhibitors are complementary peptides designed to be receptor-surrogates that act by binding to selected surface features of biologically important proteins thereby inhibiting protein-cognate receptor ...

Somatostatin receptors

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Biomembranes, 2003
In 1972, Brazeau et al. isolated somatostatin (somatotropin release-inhibiting factor, SRIF), a cyclic polypeptide with two biologically active isoforms (SRIF-14 and SRIF-28). This event prompted the successful quest for SRIF receptors. Then, nearly a quarter of a century later, it was announced that a neuropeptide, to be named cortistatin (CST), had ...

PancrESS – a meta-analysis resource for understanding cell-type specific expression in the human pancreas

BMC Genomics
Background The human pancreas is composed of specialized cell types producing hormones and enzymes critical to human health. These specialized functions are the result of cell type-specific transcriptional programs which manifest in cell-specific gene ...
