SGLT-2 inhibitors have been accepted as a new class of antidiabetic agent (Kurosaki and Ogasawara, 2013). They limit renal glucose reabsorption and promote urinary excretion of glucose, thereby reducing plasma glucose levels (de Leeuw and de Boer, 2016, Jojima et al., 2016, Pérez López et al., 2010,

For another, the N-terminal sequence of native glucagon is highly conserved, and positions 8, 9, 16 and 18 are noteworthy in maintaining glucagon activity [18], [20], [21]. It also achieves a degree of selectivity from its C-terminal residues, and a significant contribution is made by the C-terminal

In the course of our ongoing attempts to photolabel allosteric binding sites of γ-aminobutyric Laminin 925-933 type A (GABAA) receptors, we were met with the need for relatively large (near mg) quantities of recombinant protein. Rather than establishing a stable cell line we sought to optimise the

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is the most abundant growth factor in the brain and is critical for neuronal development and synaptic plasticity (Bekinschtein et al., 2008; Lu et al., 2014). Besides playing an important role in mood and cognition, BDNF is also involved in the regulation of

The second patient had a homozygous substitution within exon 6 (c.538C>T). The parents were heterozygous and showed no clinical or immunological defect. The mutation has been predicted to alter a potential exonic splicing enhancer (ESE) site. Therefore, exon 6 skipping could be explained by the ESE-

The NuB4 complex interacts with Asf1p, which plays a central role in controlling the flux of histones to the various chromatin assembly pathways. This interaction is also evolutionarily conserved having been detected in yeast, chicken and human h2 receptor antagonist [27], [61], [104], [105]. Asf1p

Recent studies in our laboratory demonstrated that several histamine H1 receptor antagonists induce apo A-I gene expression while histamine itself represses it [20]. In humans, there are three histamine receptor genes (H1, H2, and H3) that code for G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCR's) which bind his

HER2 genotype was determined in breast cancer tissue of 73 breast cancer patients. As previously reported, Ile655Val and Ala1170Pro genotypes measured in breast cancer tissues were available for 71 and 69 breast cancer patients, respectively. Briefly, 77.5% (55/71) of patients were homozygous for th

A few animal and cell culture studies have been reported that the reason of HCV-related hepatic steatosis in CHC infection is mainly HCV core protein (Chang et al., 2007; Perlemuter et al., 2002; Ferré, 2004). HCV core protein inhibits activities of microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTP) and

While the specific set of challenges associated with deorphanization and transforming each poorly characterized GPCR into a useful drug target will be unique, much can be learned by considering how these issues have been addressed for other receptors. One group of poorly characterized GPCRs that hav

Lactate-induced GPR81 activation was confirmed with a fluorimetric imaging plate reader (FLIPR) assay, in which lactate induced a [Ca2+] flux in CHO cells stably expressing Gqi5 and HA-GPR81 but not vector control (Fig. 1C). The EC50 of lactate in the FLIPR assay was 4.3±0.73mM, a value well within
