The products of c-ErbA are steroid hormone receptors. ERBIN A protein (ErbB2 receptor-interacting protein, LAP2, densin-180-like protein, 1412aa) that binds to p0071 and Erb B2; co-localized with PAPIN on the l
E2 has also been shown to directly and specifically stimulate PKCδ activity in a cell-free assay system (Fig. 1). Other steroid hormones such as aldosterone and 17α-estradiol were without effect on PKCδ activity. E2 also rapidly and directly activated PKCα activity in a concentration-...
Similarly, cortisol, a steroid hormone, has been shown to correlate with both physical and mental stresses, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)34, Cushing syndrome, and Addison’s disease35,36. Wearable and flexible biosensors highlighted in the literature for stress monitoring typically ...
Epilepsy is a recurring neurological disease caused by the abnormal electrical activity in the brain. This disease has caused about 50 new cases in 100,000 populations every year with the clinical manifestations of awareness loss, bruising, and mobility
373 A recent interesting study has found that in the aged pituitary, growth hormone-secreting cells can independently produce IgA without the need for B cells, a process that is positively regulated by the diversity of the gut microbiota.374 It is speculated that this might serve as a ...
that proliferates continually while the upper tuber part enters dormancy, creating a tuber with a thin top and a thick base. The tuber tip exhibits positive gravitropism, and amyloplasts in the tip undergo sedimentation along the gravity vector, suggesting they serve as gravity-sensing statoliths...
Absolute quantification of a steroid hormone that regulates development in Caenorhabditis elegans. Anal Chem. 2013;85:9281–7. 40. Van Megen H, Van Den Elsen S, Holterman M, Karssen G, Mooyman P, Bongers T, et al. A phylogenetic tree of nematodes based on about Vlaar et al. ...
By analysing circRNAs related to ovarian aging, another study found that the NcRNAs whose expression significantly changed were significantly enriched in metabolic processes, regulatory secretion pathways, redox processes, steroid hormone biosynthesis, and insulin secretion pathways related to ovarian aging, ...
Peptide hormone (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide, GIP, 42aa) of the incretin family secreted by intestinal K cells that stimulates insulin release and inhibits the release of gastric acid and pepsin. The receptor is G-protein coupled. See GIP. Peptide hormones secreted by cells of the...
Leydig cells are the major site for the synthesis of the predominant male steroid hormone, testosterone. Cholesterol is the obligatory intermediate in the synthesis of testosterone and is supplied to the Leydig cell either by receptor-mediated endocytosis of lipoprotein or by de novo synthesis from ...
