Secretory pathways in endothelin synthesis.
Endothelin (ET) is a potent vasoconstrictor peptide that is generated via unique processing of a low activity precursor, big ET-1 by endothelin converting enzymes (ECEs). ET has a physiological role in the maintenance of basal tone in humans (Haynes & Webb, 1994; Haynes, 1995; Haynes et al., 1995), but may also have a role in the pathophysiology of cardiovascular diseases, including atheroscler...
متن کاملUpdate on Secretory Pathways in Plant Immune Responses Secretory Pathways in Plant Immune Responses
Innate immune receptors in plants detect the presence of microbial pathogens and trigger defense responses to terminate or restrict pathogen growth. The molecular mechanisms of receptor-mediated nonself recognition and subsequent intracellular signaling pathways have received much attention in the past. Less is known about the cellular mechanisms that contribute to the execution of immune respo...
متن کاملParotid secretory granules: crossroads of secretory pathways and protein storage.
Saliva plays an important role in digestion, host defense, and lubrication. The parotid gland contributes a variety of secretory proteins-including amylase, proline-rich proteins, and parotid secretory protein (PSP)-to these functions. The regulated secretion of salivary proteins ensures the availability of the correct mix of salivary proteins when needed. In addition, the major salivary glands...
متن کاملSecretory pathways generating immunosuppressive NKG2D ligands
Natural Killer Group 2 member D (NKG2D) activating receptor, present on the surface of various immune cells, plays an important role in activating the anticancer immune response by their interaction with stress-inducible NKG2D ligands (NKG2DL) on transformed cells. However, cancer cells have developed numerous mechanisms to evade the immune system via the downregulation of NKG2DL from the cell ...
متن کاملEndothelin-an emerging role in proinflammatory pathways in brain.
AS ONE OF THE MOST COMMON symptoms of infectious disease, fever has been intensively studied over the past 75 years. An understanding of the cascade of events leading from bacterial invasion of the body to the development of an elevated body temperature began to emerge in the 1970s and early 1980s. A mechanism was envisioned whereby the active component of bacterial cell walls, LPS, interacts w...
