New Multipetalous Variety G. Ad.1 of Adenium obesum

New hedgehog/GLI-signaling inhibitors from Adenium obesum.

The aberrant hedgehog (Hh)/GLI signaling pathway causes the formation and progression of a variety of tumors. We recently constructed a cell-based screening system to search for Hh/GLI signaling inhibitors from natural resources. Using our screening system, Adenium obesum was found to include Hh/GLI signaling inhibitors from our tropical plant extract libraries. Bioassay-guided fractionation of...

Variety of Immunoglobulin G Functions

The diversity of immunoglobulin (Ig) functions may be explained by the peculiar structure of these flexible molecules. Heavy and light Ig chains are composed from compact stable immunoglobulin folds (IgF), or domains belonging to a large protein super family. Proteins composed from IgF have been found in various representatives of animal kingdom even those appeared during the very early stages ...
