Immunoluminometric assay for measurement of the C-terminal endothelin-1 precursor fragment in human plasma.
BACKGROUND Endothelin-1 (ET-1), a potent vasoconstrictor, is difficult to measure because of its instability and its binding to receptors and plasma proteins. We report a rapid, robust way to indirectly quantify ET-1 release by measuring the C-terminal ET-1 precursor fragment (CT-proET-1) without an extraction step. METHODS In plasma samples from healthy individuals, patients with congestive ...
متن کاملC-terminal half of tetanus toxin fragment C is sufficient for neuronal binding and interaction with a putative protein receptor.
Tetanus neurotoxin (TeNT) is a powerful bacterial protein toxin that cleaves VAMP/synaptobrevin, an essential protein of the synaptic vesicle fusion machinery, and consequently blocks neurotransmission. The extreme neurospecificity of TeNT is determined by the binding of its C-terminal domain (fragment C or H(C)) to neuronal receptors. Whereas polysialogangliosides are known acceptors for the t...
متن کاملC-terminal agrin fragment--a new fast biomarker for kidney function in renal transplant recipients.
BACKGROUND The C-terminal agrin fragment (CAF) is a cleavage product of agrin, the major proteoglycan of the glomerular basement membrane. This article studies if CAF could serve as a biomarker for renal function in renal transplant recipients. MATERIAL AND METHODS We measured serum CAF and creatinine concentrations and calculated estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) (MDRD) in 96 healt...
متن کاملImmunogenic and Protective Potentials of Recombinant Receptor Binding Domain and a C-Terminal Fragment of Clostridium botulinum Neurotoxin Type E
Clostridium Botulinum Type E neurotoxin heavy chain consists of two domains: the translocation domain asthe N-terminal half and the binding domain as the Cterminal half (Hc). One effective way to neutralize botulinum neurotoxin is to inhibit binding of this toxin to neuromuscular synapses with antibodies against binding domain. Two synthetic genes, coding for Hc (the full length binding d...
متن کاملCytoplasmic Location of α1A Voltage-Gated Calcium Channel C-Terminal Fragment (Cav2.1-CTF) Aggregate Is Sufficient to Cause Cell Death
The human α1A voltage-dependent calcium channel (Cav2.1) is a pore-forming essential subunit embedded in the plasma membrane. Its cytoplasmic carboxyl(C)-tail contains a small poly-glutamine (Q) tract, whose length is normally 4∼19 Q, but when expanded up to 20∼33Q, the tract causes an autosomal-dominant neurodegenerative disorder, spinocerebellar ataxia type 6 (SCA6). A recent study has shown ...
