Previous studies in rat bile canalicular membrane vesicles and WIF-B9 cells revealed that cAMP-induced trafficking of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters to the canalicular membrane and their activation require phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3-K) products. In the present studies, canalicular secretion of fluorescein isothiocyanate-glycocholate in WIF-B9 cells was increased by cAMP and a decap...

In one carbon reaction, tetrahydrofolate works as cofactor for the synthesis of glycine, serine, methionine, purines and thymidylate. Folate or vitamin B9 is not synthesized in humans therefore plants are the main source of this essential vitamin. Deficiency of vitamin B9 may cause severe health consequences like birth defects, megaloblastic anemia, cardiovascular disorders, cancers, etc. To re...

The amino acid sequence of the constant (CK) region from the kappa immunoglobulin chains of a b9 rabbit is compared with the CK sequences, taken from the literature, of a b4 rabbit. These CK regions differ by 33% of their amino acid sequences and by three sequence insertions or deletions (sequence gaps). These extensive differences together with other published observations suggest that the b9 ...

Amaç: B grubu vitaminler ve D vitamini eksikliği/yetersiz alımının depresyonla ilişkili olduğu gösterilmiştir. Önceki çalışmalar sadece folat (B9) B12 vitaminleri veya vitaminine odaklanmıştı, bu çalışmada ise B1 B2 B9 vitaminlerinin serum diyetle alım düzeyleri araştırılmıştır. Bu nedenle çalışmanın amacı, bazı vitaminlerin vitamininin üniversite öğrencilerinin depresyon düzeylerine etkisini a...

It is increasingly recognized that non-erythroid spectrins have roles remote from the plasma membrane, notably in endomembrane trafficking. The large spectrin isoform, bH, partners with Annexin B9 to modulate endosomal processing of internalized proteins. This modulation is focused on the early endosome through multivesicular body steps of endocytic processing and loss of either protein appears...

Bioassays are currently used to measure the presence of functionally active cytokines in biological fluids. These assays may be influenced by the presence of other substances, either cytokine specific or not, in such fluids. In the present study, we analyzed whether some currently used disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) could interfere with the measurements of circulating interleuki...

The t(4;14) translocation occurs in 25% of multiple myeloma (MM) and results in both the ectopic expression of fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3) from der4 and immunoglobulin heavy chain-MMSET hybrid messenger RNA transcripts from der14. The subsequent selection of activating mutations of the translocated FGFR3 by MM cells indicates an important role for this signaling pathway in tumor...

An experimentally determined pK(a) change of +2.50 units has been reported for the B13 Glu residue in a dimeric B9 Ser --> Asp insulin mutant relative to the native dimer. Poisson-Boltzmann electrostatics-based pK(a) calculations were performed to probe the effect of the B9 Ser --> Asp and B10 His --> Asp mutations on aggregation and the ionization behaviour of the B13 carboxylate. The method p...

hydrogels, due to their unique potentials such as high-water content and hydrophilicity are interest for the controlled release of drug molecules. the present study aims to create a controlled-release system through the preparation and characterization of hydrogels based on ph-sensitive polymers such as poly (acrylic acid). poly (acrylic acid), p(aa), hydrogel has been synthesized by radical po...
