The aim of the present study was todeterminecharacteristics of Rheb gene and protein in Raini Cashmere goat. Comparative analyses of the nucleotide sequences were performed. Open reading frames (ORFs), theoretical molecular weights of deduced polypeptides, the protein isoelectric point, protein characteristics and three-dimensional structures was predicted using online standard softwares. The f...

Cholestyramine feeding of rats increased the rate of palmitate and glycerol incorporation into triacylglycerols of isolated hepatocytes. Concomitantly an increase of fatty-acid binding by hepatic cytosolic proteins was observed, which could be attributed to an elevation of the content of the fatty-acid-binding protein (Mr 12000). The involvement of this protein in cholesterol, bile-acid and tri...

An increase in apparent thyroxine values obtained by competitive protein-binding assay on storage of sera is well documented. We find that the major source of this positive bias is probably the unsaturated nonesterified fatty acids. Nonesterified fatty acids cause a positive basis in the competitive protein-binding assay for serum thyroxine because they inhibit the binding of radioactive thyrox...

iomarkers have come to play an increasingly important ole in the evaluation and management of patients with uspected acute coronary syndromes (ACS). To date, cariac troponins T and I remain the best established biomarers in ACS for both diagnosis and risk assessment. In ddition to providing high sensitivity and specificity for etecting myocardial necrosis, troponins provide assessment f the ris...

Review on FABP7, with data on DNA/RNA, on the protein encoded and where the gene is implicated.

Rat intestinal fatty acid binding protein (I-FABPF is produced in the columnar absorptive epithelial cells (enterocytes) of the intestine (1). Its precise function in the absorption of long chain fatty acids and their subsequent rafficking to intracellular sites of metabolic processing remain unclear. Nonetheless, there are several features of this fatty acid “receptor” that contribute to its a...
