An increasing body of scientific research on the nature, correlates, and effects compassion has accrued over recent years. Expert agreement not yet been reached conceptualisation for others, existing self-report measures others have often lacked psychometric quality content validity. Recent publications longer represent significant strides towards ameliorating these issues. However, there is a ...

On the basis of sequence similarities to the yeast PMR1 and hSPCA gene, the rat alternatively spliced mRNA has been suggested to be a Golgi secretory pathway Ca2+-ATPase (SPCA). Data in this report lend further support for this hypothesis in that sucrose gradient fractionation of rat liver microsomes resulted in SPCA comigrating with the Golgi calcium binding protein CALNUC, which was well reso...

We have reported previously that gp91phox, expressed in CHO (Chinese hamster ovary) cells, functions as a voltage-dependent proton channel. However, others have reported that COS-7 cells expressing gp91phox failed to exhibit outward proton currents, and concluded that gp91phox does not function as a proton channel. To investigate this clear difference in findings, we have examined the expressio...

We investigated the intracellular localization of CRH in transiently transfected COS-7 cells expressing the full-length rat corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) precursor cDNA. CRH synthesized by transfected COS-7 cells is mainly stored intracellularly. In contrast, CHO-K1 cells expressing the same CRH precursor stored and released equal amounts of immunoreactive (IR)-CRH. Ultrastructural anal...
