Identification of two additional members of the membrane-bound dipeptidase family.
We have cloned two mouse cDNAs encoding previously unidentified membrane-bound dipeptidases [membrane-bound dipeptidase-2 (MBD-2) and membrane-bound dipeptidase-3 (MBD-3)] from membrane-bound dipeptidase-1 (MBD-1) deficient mice (Habib, G.M., Shi, Z-Z., Cuevas, A.A., Guo, Q., Matzuk, M.M., and Lieberman, M.W. (1998) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 95, 4859-4863). These enzymes are closely related to...
متن کاملDopamine D4 receptor-deficient mice display cortical hyperexcitability.
The dopamine D(4) receptor (D(4)R) is predominantly expressed in the frontal cortex (FC), a brain region that receives dense input from midbrain dopamine (DA) neurons and is associated with cognitive and emotional processes. However, the physiological significance of this dopamine receptor subtype has been difficult to explore because of the slow development of D(4)R agonists and antagonists th...
متن کاملHepatic microsomal metabolism of montelukast, a potent leukotriene D4 receptor antagonist, in humans.
Montelukast (L-706,631, MK-0476, SINGULAIR), a potent and selective leukotriene D4 (CysLT1) receptor antagonist, is currently under development for the treatment of asthma. In vitro studies were conducted using human liver microsomes to evaluate: 1) the difference in the metabolic kinetics of montelukast between adult and pediatric subjects; 2) the relative contribution of flavin-containing mon...
متن کاملTryptophan metabolism in vitamin B6-deficient mice.
Vitamin B6 deficiency was induced in mice by maintenance for 4 weeks on a vitamin B6-free diet. Tryptophan metabolism was assessed by determining the urinary excretion of tryptophan metabolites, the metabolism of [14C]tryptophan in vivo and the formation of tryptophan and niacin metabolites by isolated hepatocytes. The vitamin B6-deficient animals excreted more xanthurenic acid and 3-hydroxykyn...
متن کاملAccelerated Atherosclerosis in Low Density Lipoprotein Receptor Deficient Mice Lacking the Membrane-bound Complement Regulator Cd59
Objective: Whilst studies in humans and animal models have suggested a role for complement activation in atherosclerosis, there has been little analysis of the importance of complement regulators. We tested the hypothesis that the terminal pathway inhibitor CD59 plays an essential role in limiting the proinflammatory effects of complement activation. Methods and Results: CD59 gene targeted mice...
