Novel genes and hormones in salivary glands: from the gene for the submandibular rat 1 protein (SMR1) precursor to receptor sites for SMR1 mature peptides

Biomedical Reviews, 1998
Submandibular rat 1 protein (SMR1) preprohormone and its maturation peptides constitute the novel characterized submandibular gland (SMG)-specific factors of the cervical sympathetic trunk (CST)-SMG (CST-SMG) axis. As is generally observed for major polypeptide hormones of the endocrine system, SMR1 peptides, including SMR1- imdecapeptide, -hexapeptide

Autophagy occurs upstream or parallel to the apoptosome during histolytic cell death [PDF]

, 2006
Histolysis refers to a widespread disintegration of tissues that is morphologically distinct from apoptosis and often associated with the stimulation of autophagy. Here, we establish that a component of the apoptosome, and pivotal regulator of apoptosis,

Milk-derived proteins and peptides in clinical trials.

Postępy Higieny i Medycyny Doświadczalnej, 2013
Clinical trials are reviewed, involving proteins and peptides derived from milk (predominantly bovine), with the exception of lactoferrin, which will be the subject of another article. The most explored milk fraction is α-lactalbumin (LA), which is often

Biosynthesis of salivary proteins in the parotid gland of the subhuman primate, Macaca fascicularis. Cell-free translation of the mRNA for a proline-rich glycoprotein and partial amino acid sequence and processing of its signal peptide.

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1984
The major anionic proline-rich proteins in the parotid and submandibular secretions of subhuman primates and man perform the important biological function of inhibiting crystal growth of calcium phosphate salts from saliva, which is supersaturated with calcium phosphate salts, thereby preventing excess deposition of hydroxylapatite on tooth surfaces ...

Comparison of salivary epidermal growth factor levels in patients with gingivitis and advanced periodontitis and healthy subjects.

Frontiers in Dentistry, 2014
Epidermal growth factor (EGF) is a polypeptide molecule, with important functions in epithelial growth and wound repair. It exerts its effects on cells by binding to receptors on the cell surface.
