Roles of 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 10 in neurodegenerative disorders
17β-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 10 (17β-HSD10) is encoded by the HSD17B10 gene mapping at Xp11.2. This homotetrameric mitochondrial multifunctional enzyme catalyzes the oxidation of neuroactive steroids and the degradation of isoleucine. This enzyme is capable of binding to other peptides, such as estrogen receptor α, amyloid-β, and tRNA methyltransferase 10C. Missense mutations of the HS...
متن کاملExpression patterns of 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 14 in human tissues.
17βHSD enzymes catalyze the stereospecific oxidation/reduction at carbon 17β of androgens and estrogens, and are important players in intracrine sex hormone synthesis. The biological relevance of 17βHSD14, first named retSDR3, is largely unknown. We generated and validated an antibody targeting the 17βHSD14 antigen and used this for immunohistochemical evaluation of expression patterns in 33 he...
متن کاملIdentification of GABA receptors in chick retinal pigment epithelium.
PURPOSE The retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) is a multifunctional, monolayer of cells located between the neural retina and the choroicapillaris. γ-Aminobutyric acid (GABA) is the most important inhibitory neurotransmitter in the retina and GABA receptors are known to be present in chick retina, sclera and cornea. There is a report of genes involved in GABA receptor signaling being expressed in...
متن کاملDecreased Expression of Type 5 17β-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase (AKR1C3) Protein Identified in Human Diabetic Skin Tissue
BACKGROUND Diabetes is characterized by chronic hyperglycemia, and hyperglycemia can increase reactive oxygen species (ROS) production from the mitochondrial electron transport chain. The formation of ROS in cells induces oxidative stress and activates oxidative damage-inducing genes. There is no research on the protein levels of oxidative damage-related genes AKR1C3 in human diabetic skin. We ...
متن کاملEffects of current clamp on chick retinal pigment epithelium.
The basal membrane of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) is the origin of two components of the electroretinogram, the fast oscillation and the light peak. Both of these responses originate from changes in basal membrane potential (Vba), and both are associated with changes in basal membrane resistance (Rba). In addition, many experimental manipulations that alter Vba also produce apparent ch...
