The partial amino-acid sequence of the wheat-germ Ec protein has been published previously. Computer analysis failed to show a significant relation between the amino-acid sequence of Ec and the sequences of other proteins stored in the data base of the National Biomedical Research Foundation, Wash...
Wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) is a plant protein that binds specifically to sugars expressed also by gastrointestinal epithelial cells. WGA is currently investigated as an anti-tumor drug and as a carrier for oral drugs. Information on whether it can cross the gastrointestinal epithelium and on its...
Wheat germ is a tiny part of a wheat kernel. Extremely high in protein, wheat germ is also high in vitamin E, potassium, and even...

wheat germwhole grainwhole wheatWhen consumed as whole grain, wheat has a high nutrient density that contributes to a healthy diet. Yet, products labeled as whole wheat can still contain a substantial amount of refined grain leading to the confusion for consumers, so a method was designed to ...

The germ is also high in protein and fiber. One half cup of wheat germ provides 13 grams of protein that is rich in branched-chain amino acids, arginine and glutamine, and 30 g of carbs with almost eight of those grams coming from fiber. This makes wheat germ a great source of slow-...
On the other hand, examination of different cell extracts showed that Msp1 is a glycosylated protein in the supernatant, but not in the cell wall and cytosol fraction, suggesting a link between glycosylation and secretion of this protein. Conclusions In this study we have provided the first ...
The MADS transcription factors (TF) are an ancient eukaryotic protein family. In plants, the family is divided into two main lineages. Here, we demonstrate that DNA binding in both lineages absolutely requires a short amino acid sequence C-terminal to the MADS domain (M domain) called the Int...
The prevalence of cardiomyopathy from metabolic stress has increased dramatically; however, its molecular mechanisms remain elusive. Here, we show that extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase 5 (Erk5) is lost in the hearts of obese/diabetic animal
