The effects of treatment with melatonin on the ultrastructure of mouse leydig cells: a quantitative study [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Biology, 2002 Both the presence of receptors for gonadal steroids in the pineal gland and in vitro observations of direct action of melatonin upon Leydig cells, inhibiting testosterone secretion, indicate a direct connection between pineal gland and gonadal function ...

Death receptor 5 expression is inversely correlated with prostate cancer progression. [PDF]
, 2014 Prostate carcinoma (PCa) is one of the most common cancers in men. Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) has been widely used to predict the outcome of PCa and screening with PSA has resulted in a decline in mortality. However, PSA is not an optimal prognostic

Sequences within the C terminus of the metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGluR5) are responsible for inner nuclear membrane localization [PDF]
, 2017 Traditionally, G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCR) are thought to be located on the cell surface where they transmit extracellular signals to the cytoplasm.

European Journal of Histochemistry, 2009 Steroid receptors are found as a hetero-oligomeric complex in cell extracts. Due to the dynamic interaction between receptor-associated proteins and receptors, it is difficult to study the oligomeric complex in living cells.

Interplay between Cytoplasmic and Nuclear Androgen Receptor Splice Variants Mediates Castration Resistance [PDF]
Molecular Cancer Research, 2017 Abstract Androgen receptor splice variants (AR-V) are implicated in resistance of prostate cancer to androgen-directed therapies. When expressed alone in cells, some AR-Vs (e.g., AR-V7) localize primarily to the nucleus, whereas others (e.g., AR-V1, AR-V4, and AR-V6) localize mainly to the cytoplasm.

Cytoplasmic TRAIL-R1 is a positive prognostic marker in PDAC
BMC Cancer, 2018 Background The death receptors TRAIL-R1 and TRAIL-R2 are frequently overexpressed in cancer and there is an emerging evidence for their important role in malignant progression, also in the case of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC).

In Vivo Localization of Fas-Associated Death Domain Protein in the Nucleus and Cytoplasm of Normal Thyroid and Liver Cells [PDF]
, 2009 FADD (Fas-associated death domain) is the main death receptor adaptor molecule that transmits apoptotic signal. Recently, FADD protein was shown to be expressed both in the cytoplasm and nucleus of in vitro cell lines. In contrast to the cytoplasmic FADD,

NDP52 activates nuclear myosin VI to enhance RNA polymerase II transcription
Nature Communications, 2017 Myosin VI (MVI) is known to interact with RNA Polymerase II and to play non-cytoplasmic roles in cells. Here, the authors provide evidence that the transcription co-activator NDP52 regulates MVI binding to DNA and that MVI interacts with nuclear ...
