Parvalbumin: calcium and magnesium buffering in the distal nephron.
Parvalbumin (PV) is a classical member of the EF-hand protein superfamily that has been described as a Ca(2+) buffer and Ca(2+) transporter/shuttle protein and may also play an additional role in Mg(2+) handling. PV is exclusively expressed in the early part of the distal convoluted tubule in the human and mouse kidneys. Recent studies in Pvalb knockout mice revealed a role of PV in the distal ...
متن کاملCalcium-binding proteins calbindin and parvalbumin in the superficial dorsal horn of the rat spinal cord.
Neurons containing the calcium-binding proteins, calbindin or parvalbumin, were studied by immunohistochemistry in the superficial dorsal horn of the rat spinal cord. Calbindin-containing cells were found in laminae I, II and III, being more abundant in laminae I and II. Some of the neurons in lamina I containing calbindin projected to the supraspinal area. Parvalbumin-containing neurons were m...
متن کاملKinetic properties of DM-nitrophen binding to calcium and magnesium.
Caged-Ca(2+) compounds such as nitrophenyl-EGTA (NP-EGTA) and DM-nitrophen (DMn) are extremely useful in biological research, but their use in live cells is hampered by cytoplasmic [Mg(2+)]. We determined the properties of Ca(2+) release from NP-EGTA and DMn by using Oregon green BAPTA-5N to measure changes in [Ca(2+)] after ultraviolet flash photolysis in vitro, with or without Mg(2+) present....
متن کاملBinding of acrylonitrile to parvalbumin.
A previous study has shown that acrylonitrile (ACN) has a long half-life in rainbow trout muscle and that [14C]ACN appears to be bound to a 10,000-Da protein in muscle. The labeled protein was purified from muscle of trout exposed to [14C]ACN, separated on 20% SDS-PAGE, and digested for amino acid analysis and sequence analysis. These studies indicated that the labeled protein was the Ca(2+)-bi...
متن کاملThe Calcium-binding protein parvalbumin modulates the firing
5 The Reticular Thalamic Nucleus (RTN) of the mouse is characterized by an overwhelming majority of 6 GABAergic neurons receiving afferences from both the thalamus and the cerebral cortex and sending projections 7 mainly on thalamo-cortical neurons. The RTN neurons express high levels of the “slow Ca2+ buffer” parvalbu8 min (PV) and are characterized by low-threshold Ca2+ currents, IT. We perfo...
