Characterization of endopeptidases from the midgut of Morimus funereus (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) larvae [PDF]
Archives of Biological Sciences, 2008 Application of specific chromogenic substrates, use of class-specific inhibitors, and zymogram analysis enabled us to identify several peptidase classes in extracts of the midgut of Morimus funereus larvae.

Fibroblast Activation Protein Specific Optical Imaging in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
Frontiers in Oncology, 2022 Fibroblast activation protein (FAP) is a cell surface propyl-specific serine protease involved in the regulation of extracellular matrix. Whilst expressed at low levels in healthy tissue, upregulation of FAP on fibroblasts can be found in several solid ...

Effects of Thyroxine Exposure on Osteogenesis in Mouse Calvarial Pre-Osteoblasts [PDF]
, 2013 The incidence of craniosynostosis is one in every 1,800-2500 births. The gene-environment model proposes that if a genetic predisposition is coupled with environmental exposures, the effects can be multiplicative resulting in severely abnormal phenotypes.

Action of Serine Carboxypeptidases on Endopeptidase Substrates, N-Acyldipeptideamides [PDF]
Bulletin of the Chemical Society of Japan, 1987 Abstract Action patterns of two serine carboxypeptidases, one from yeast (Y) and the other from wheat bran (W), on N-[3-(2-furyl)acryloyl]-(Fua-) dipeptideamide substrates were examined by HPLC and amino acid analysis. In the reaction of the wheat enzyme the substrates were hydrolyzed to Fua-amino acid and no sufficient amount of Fua ...

Alterations in gene expression of proprotein convertases in human lung cancer have a limited number of scenarios. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Proprotein convertases (PCs) is a protein family which includes nine highly specific subtilisin-like serine endopeptidases in mammals. The system of PCs is involved in carcinogenesis and levels of PC mRNAs alter in cancer, which suggests expression ...
