Different isoforms of the non-integrin laminin receptor are present in mouse brain and bind PrP [PDF]
, 2003 The prion protein (PrP) plays a central role in prion diseases, and identifying its cellular receptor appears to be of crucial interest. We previously showed in the yeast twohybrid system that PrP interacts with the 37 kDa precursor (LRP) of the high ...

Retinoid receptors and binding proteins [PDF]
Journal of Cell Science, 1992 ABSTRACT Retinoids, in particular all-trans retinoic acid (T-RA), are essential for normal development and homeostasis of vertebrates. Although many effects of retinoids, particularity with regard to teratogenicity, have been described in the literature, the mechanisms by which these simple signalling molecules work has only recently ...
