Human syntaxin 3 is localized apically in human intestinal cells.
To understand the molecular mechanisms underlying sorting of apical and basolateral membrane components in human intestinal epithelial cells, we have cloned the human homolog of rat syntaxin 3 and looked for its subcellular localization. Endogenous human syntaxin 3 was found to be localized at the apical membrane of colon epithelial and Caco-2 cells. This apical localization was confirmed by co...
متن کاملOxytocin is expressed throughout the human gastrointestinal tract.
BACKGROUND/AIM Several studies have described that oxytocin exerts stimulatory or inhibitory effects on gut functions. Recently, mRNA for oxytocin and its receptor was found throughout the entire human gastrointestinal (GI) tract. The aim of this study was to examine the cellular localization and distribution of the corresponding proteins. MATERIAL AND METHODS Full-thickness biopsies from 24 ...
متن کاملPotassium Channel Ether à go-go1 Is Aberrantly Expressed in Human Liposarcoma and Promotes Tumorigenesis
The ether à go-go1 (Eag1) channel is overexpressed in a variety of cancers. However, the expression and function of Eag1 in liposarcoma are poorly understood. In the present study, the mRNA expression of Eag1 in different adipose tissue samples was examined by real-time PCR. Then, the protein expression of Eag1 in 131 different adipose tissues from 109 patients was detected by immunohistochemis...
متن کاملThe ROMK potassium channel is present in mammalian urinary tract epithelia and muscle.
There is increasing evidence that mammalian urinary tract epithelial cells utilize membrane channels and transporters to transport solutes across their apical (luminal) and basalateral membranes to modify solute concentrations in both cell and urine. This study investigates the expression, localization, and regulation of the ROMK (K(ir) 1.1) potassium channels in rat and dog ureter and bladder ...
متن کاملExtracellular calcium-sensing receptor is functionally expressed in human artery.
Accelerated medial calcification is a major cause of premature cardiovascular mortality in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Evidence suggests that extracellular concentration of Ca2+ and vascular smooth muscle cells may play a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of vascular calcification. The calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) is a G protein-coupled receptor that is expressed in a range of...
