Expression of corticosteroid-binding globulin CBG in the human heart.
Glucocorticoids are known to be involved in myocardial regeneration and destruction. Cardiomyocytes are mostly devoid of nuclear glucocorticoid receptors (GRs) and it is generally assumed that effects of adrenal steroids in heart are mediated through the mineralocorticoid receptor (MR). Here we used immunocytochemistry to study localization of corticosteroid binding globulin (CBG) in semithin s...
متن کاملLevels of sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) and corticosteroid-binding globulin (CBG) messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNAs) in ovarian endometriosis.
Recently, much evidence has indicated that sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) and corticosteroid-binding globulin (CBG) play a role in the intracellular action of sex steroids in target cells. In the present work, expression of SHBG mRNA and CBG mRNA was demonstrated in tissues of human normal endometrium and pelvic endometriosis, using the reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-P...
متن کاملHepatic corticosteroid-binding globulin (CBG) messenger RNA expression and plasma CBG concentrations in young pigs in response to heat and social stress.
Plasma cortisol, porcine corticosteroid-binding globulin (pCBG), hepatic CBG expression, and other physiological and behavioral measures of stress were studied in pigs in response to elevated temperature in conjunction with establishing a social hierarchy. Twenty-four crossbred pigs were weaned at 25 d of age (three or six pigs from six sows) and housed in littermate groups at 23 +/- 2 degrees ...
متن کاملSpecific binding of human corticosteroid-binding globulin to cell membranes.
Specific binding sites for corticosteroid-binding globulin were detected on membranes prepared from human prostates. The binding sites are typical of membrane receptors: they are saturable and specific and have high affinity. There was little specific binding at 4 degrees C and 23 degrees C. Maximal specific binding was obtained at 37 degrees C. Scatchard analysis revealed the presence of a sin...
متن کاملN-glycans modulate the function of human corticosteroid-binding globulin.
Human corticosteroid-binding globulin (CBG), a heavily glycosylated protein containing six N-linked glycosylation sites, transports cortisol and other corticosteroids in blood circulation. Here, we investigate the biological importance of the N-glycans of CBG derived from human serum by performing a structural and functional characterization of CBG N-glycosylation. Liquid chromatography-tandem ...
