Identification of the neurotrophic factor sequence of prosaposin.
Prosaposin, recently identified as a neurotrophic factor (1), is the precursor of saposins A, B, C, and D. The neurotrophic activity of prosaposin resides in the saposin C domain. We have pinpointed the active sequence to a linear 12-mer located in the NH2-terminal sequence of saposin C (LIDNNKTEKEIL). Nanomolar concentrations of a 22-mer peptide encompassing this region stimulated neurite outg...
متن کاملIdentification of Mesencephalic Astrocyte-Derived Neurotrophic Factor as a Novel Neuroprotective Factor for Retinal Ganglion Cells
Mesencephalic astrocyte-derived neurotrophic factor (MANF), a newly discovered secreted neurotrophic factor, has been proven to not only protect dopaminergic neurons and other cell types but also regulate neuroinflammation and the immune response to promote tissue repair and regeneration. However, to date, there is no information regarding the relationship between MANF and retinal ganglion cell...
متن کاملIdentification of hypothalamic Neuron-derived Neurotrophic Factor (NENF) as a novel factor modulating appetite
Disruption of finely-coordinated neuropeptide signals in the hypothalamus can result in altered food intake and body weight. We identified neuron-derived neurotrophic factor (Nenf) as a novel secreted protein through a large scale screen aimed at identifying novel secreted hypothalamic proteins that regulate food intake. We observed robust Nenf expression in hypothalamic nuclei known to regulat...

متن کاملIdentification of brain-derived neurotrophic factor as a novel functional protein in hepatocellular carcinoma.
This study aims to identify a novel molecule that may contribute to hepatocarcinogenesis in a rat orthotopic hepatocellular carcinoma model. The hepatocellular carcinoma model was generated by injection of tumor cells into the left lobe of the liver. Proteomic approaches, including ProteinChip and two-dimensional electrophoresis, were used to identify proteins from serially collected rat serum ...
