Hepatoma-derived growth factor (HDGF)-related proteins (HRPs) comprise a family of polypeptides named after HDGF, which was identified by its mitogenic activity towards fibroblasts. In the present study, we describe a hitherto unknown HRP, termed HRP-4. The cDNA of bovine HRP-4 (bHRP-4) predicts a polypeptide of 235 amino acids. Northern- and Western-blot analyses of various bovine tissues demo...

Background: Hip-related pain (HRP) is a movement-related condition; however, previous biomechanics research into HRP have concentrated on male-dominated cohorts and focused people undergoing surgical intervention. As result, little known about the biomechanical impairments of women with those not seeking surgery. Therefore, aims this study were threefold: (i) to evaluate differences in lower-li...

After receptor-mediated uptake, asialoglycoproteins are routed to lysosomes, while transferrin is returned to the medium as apotransferrin. This sorting process was analyzed using 3,3'-diaminobenzidine (DAB) cytochemistry, followed by Percoll density gradient cell fractionation. A conjugate of asialoorosomucoid (ASOR) and horseradish peroxidase (HRP) was used as a ligand for the asialoglycoprot...

A DNA/chitosan-Fe₃O₄ magnetic nanoparticle bio-complex film was constructed for the immobilization of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) on a glassy carbon electrode. HRP was simply mixed with DNA, chitosan and Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles, and then applied to the electrode surface to form an enzyme-incorporated polyion complex film. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to study the surface features of...

BACKGROUND The (pro)renin receptor ((P)RR) was reported to be expressed in various tissues including the pancreas, and handle region peptide (HRP) is believed to block the function of (P)RR. This study aimed to investigate the effect of HRP on the glucose tolerance status and β-cell function of female rats, neonatally treated with sodium L-glutamate (MSG) and to compare with the previously repo...

The facial nucleus of the Japanese monkey was divided cytoarchitectonically into the ventral, medial, intermediate, dorsal and lateral divisions. When horseradish peroxidase (HRP) was applied to the inferior labial, cervical or posterior auricular branch of the facial nerve, HRP-labeled neurons were seen in the lateral, ventral or medial division of the facial nucleus, respectively. After apply...

Pseudomonas cichorii harbors the hrp genes. hrp-mutants lose their virulence on eggplant but not on lettuce. A phosphinothricin N-acetyltransferase gene (pat) is located between hrpL and an aldehyde dehydrogenase gene (aldH) in the genome of P. cichorii. Comparison of nucleotide sequences and composition of the genes among pseudomonads suggests a common ancestor of hrp and pat between P. cichor...

Horseradish peroxidase (HRP) was used as a marker to study the effects of microtubule-disruptive drugs on uptake and cellular inactivation of exogenous material in cultures of embryonic chick chondrocytes. HRP was ingested by fluid endocytosis, and intracellular enzyme activity subsequently diminished exponentially with time. Cytochemically, reaction product for HRP was found in vesicles often ...

This study reports on the first example, to our knowledge, of the usefulness of an ultrasound (US)-irradiation during an enzyme adsorption step, for enhancing the performance of a redox-enzyme-based amperometric biosensor. Horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and thionine (Th) were coadsorbed from a mixed aqueous solution of HRP and Th onto a carbon-felt (CF) under US-irradiation for 5 min with an ultr...

Purpose: Relative dispersion analysis (RDA), a new high pass resolution perimetry (HRP) index, appears to capture a novel aspect of visual field abnormality. The aim of this study was to evaluate the correlation of RDA and other HRP indices with the Humphrey perimeter parameters. Methods: Fifty-six eyes were randomly recruited from among patients at the authors’ clinic. Twenty-nine eyes were cl...
