Epithelial integrin alpha 6 beta 4: complete primary structure of alpha 6 and variant forms of beta 4
The integrin alpha 6 beta 4 is a heterodimer predominantly expressed by epithelia. While no definite receptor function has yet been assigned to it, this integrin may mediate adhesive and/or migratory functions of epithelial cells. We have determined the complete primary structure of both the alpha 6 and beta 4 subunits from cDNA clones isolated from pancreatic carcinoma cell line libraries. The...
متن کاملDistribution of D2 dopamine receptor mRNA in the primate brain.
1. The distribution of the messenger RNA (mRNA) encoding the D2 dopamine receptor has been mapped in the monkey brain by in situ hybridization. 2. Using [35S]-labelled riboprobes corresponding to the region of the D2 dopamine receptor spanning the third cytosolic loop and the sixth and seventh transmembrane domains, specific hybridization was observed in a number of neural structures. 3. High l...
متن کاملPrimate Tissues
A B S T R A C T The specific activity of the branchedchain a-keto acid (BCKA) dehydrogenases was measured in normal tissues of the rat, monkey, and man, and in cirrhotic human liver. In the rat, specific activity of the dehydrogenases in liver, kidney, and muscle averaged 33, 26, and 0.4 U/g wet tissue, respectively; proportion of the body's content of the enzyme located in these three organs w...
متن کاملProhibitin 2 mRNA downregulation in breast cancer tumor tissues
Introduction: Breast cancer is the most important cause of cancer mortality among women, therefore the study of its causative or aggravating factors seems necessary. In this study, the mRNA levels of the PHB2 gene were evaluated in tumor and adjacent non-tumor tissues of 50 women diagnosed with invasive ductal carcinoma of the breast. Methods: RNX-Plus solution was used to isolate total RNA fro...
متن کاملThe integrin alpha 6 beta 4 is a laminin receptor
In this study, the putative laminin receptor function of the alpha 6 beta 4 integrin was assessed. For this purpose, we used a human cell line, referred to as clone A, that was derived from a highly invasive, colon adenocarcinoma. This cell line, which expresses the alpha 6 beta 4 integrin, adheres to the E8 and not to the P1 fragment of laminin. The adhesion of clone A cells to laminin is extr...
