Sertoli cells synthesize and secrete transferrin-like protein.
One of the major proteins secreted by Sertoli cells (Band 3) has a molecular weight on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels which corresponds to rat serum transferrin. The preparation of Sertoli cell-secreted proteins contains an iron-binding protein with electrophoretic properties on native polyacrylamide gels similar to serum transferrin. Antibodies against Sertoli cell-secreted protein...
متن کاملHuman Endothelial Cells Synthesize , Process , and Secrete Fibronectin Molecules
Cellular fibronectin (Fn) bearing an alternatively spliced extra type 111 structural repeat (ED1 1 is normally present at low concentrations in blood plasma. The source of this material remains uncertain. In this study, primary cultures of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) labeled with 36S-methionine were observed to synthesize Fn monomers both with and without this segment. Monome...
متن کاملActivated microglial cells synthesize and secrete AGE-albumin
A holy grail of curing neurodegenerative diseases is to identify the main causes and mechanisms underlying neuronal death. Many studies have sought to identify these targets in a wide variety of ways, but a more important task is to identify critical molecular targets and their origins. Potential molecular targets include advanced glycation end products (AGEs) that can promote neuronal cell dea...
متن کاملSertoli cells secrete both testis-specific and serum proteins.
The secretions of the Sertoli cell were examined with two polyvalent antisera--one prepared against proteins in rat serum and the other against testis-specific proteins in rete testis fluid. These antisera detected 12 serum and 9 testis-specific proteins in rete testis fluid. To determine the origin of these proteins, primary cultures enriched in Sertoli cells were incubated with [35S]methionin...
متن کاملPancreatic beta cells synthesize and secrete nerve growth factor.
Differentiation and function of pancreatic beta cells are regulated by a variety of hormones and growth factors, including nerve growth factor (NGF). Whether this is an endocrine or autocrine/paracrine role for NGF is not known. We demonstrate that NGF is produced and secreted by adult rat pancreatic beta cells. NGF secretion is increased in response to elevated glucose or potassium, but decrea...
