Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) signaling in vertebrate reproduction.
Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) is a cell membrane phospholipid metabolite that can act as an extracellular signal. Its effects are mediated through at least five G protein-coupled receptors, LPA(1-5), and probably others as well. Studies in multiple species including LPAR-deficient mice and humans have identified or implicated important roles for receptor-mediated LPA signaling in multiple aspects...
متن کاملPeroxisome deficient invertebrate and vertebrate animal models
Although peroxisomes are ubiquitous organelles in all animal species, their importance for the functioning of tissues and organs remains largely unresolved. Because peroxins are essential for the biogenesis of peroxisomes, an obvious approach to investigate their physiological role is to inactivate a Pex gene or to suppress its translation. This has been performed in mice but also in more primi...
متن کاملCytokines in Vertebrate Reproduction
—Mechanisms determining survival and growth of the semi-allogeneic fetus in the maternal uterus are still not completely defined. Studies in mammals have shown that soluble substances with autocrine/paracrine action (cytokines) have a central role in the maternal-fetal immunotolerance, thus, contributing to the expansion of fetal tissues in the maternal uterus. We report here about a methodolog...
متن کاملGender differences in D-aspartic acid content in skull bone.
In forensic medicine, the personal identification of cadavers is one of the most important tasks. One method of estimating age at death relies on the high correlation between racemization rates in teeth and actual age, and this method has been applied successfully in forensic odontology for several years. In this study, we attempt to facilitate the analysis of racemized amino acids and examine ...
متن کاملLocalization of D- -Aspartic Acid–Containing Proteins in Human Eyes
PURPOSE. Biologically uncommon D-aspartic acid (D-Asp) has been detected in proteins from various human tissues in elderly donors. Previous studies have identified D-Asp residues at four different specific sites in -crystallin from aged human lenses and an increased amount of D-Asp residues with age. D-Asp is formed as a result of racemization and accumulates with age; therefore, it is thought ...
