lipoprotein (a) [lp (a) is formed by assembly of ldl-particles and the carbohydrate rich protein, apolipoprotein (a) [apo (a)]. elevated plasma lp (a) levels are an independent predictor of the development of premature coronary artery disease (cad), but is not clear whether the apo (a) isoform plays on additional and independent role or not. to investigate the possible effect of apo (a) isoform...

objective(s):previous studies demonstrate that changes in pre-mrna splicing play a significant role in human disease development. furthermore, many cancer-associated genes are regulated by alternative splicing. there are mounting evidences that splice variants which express predominantly in tumors, have clear diagnostic value and may provide potential drug targets. located on the x chromosome, ...

Background Environmental and cellular inappropriate conditions can cause damages to cells nucleotide poll. Deamination and oxidation damages interfere with cell�s vital reactions. Inosine triphosphate pyrophosphatase (ITPA), an evolutionary conserved enzyme, plays a critical role in elimination of non-canonical bases. In human genome, the ITPA gene is located on chromosome 20 short arm and tran...

in order to study and compare the phosphate transporter gene codon usage and it's respond to the traits like salt tolerance, day length, pollination and temperature in different plants, 100 isoform from 10 plants are extracted from ncbi website and then analyzed with gene infinity and minitab 16 software. the result shows that the highest codon usage similarity (81.95%) was for wheat and oryza ...

background: echinococcosis is a zoonotic parasitic disease of humans and various herbivorous domestic animals transmitted by the contact with domestic and wild carnivores,mainly dogs and foxes. the aim of this study is the production, purification and evaluation immunogenicity of new construction of eg95 protein. methods: the recombinant plasmid pet32-a+ used for eg95 expression was constructed...

background: peroxisome proliferator activated receptor gamma (pparγ), a member of nuclear receptor superfamily, comprises two isoforms in mouse. these two isoforms are encoded by different mrnas, which are arisen by alternative promoter usage. there are two promoter regions upstream of pparγ gene. a 3 kb fragment, containing several transcription factor binding sites, acts as pparγ1 promoter re...

Background: It is now well-demonstrated that histone demethylases play an important role in developmental controls, cell-fate decisions, and a variety of diseases such as cancer. Lysine-specific demethylase 5D (KDM5D) is a male-specific histone demethylase that specifically demethylates di- and tri-methyl H3K4 at the start site of active genes. In this light, the aim of this study was to invest...

introduction: macroprolactin is a significant cause of misdiagnosis, unnecessary investigation, and inappropriate treatment in patients with hyperprolactinemia. its frequency has not been clearly established due to technical difficulties in identifying it. most laboratories and clinicians are unaware of macroprolactin interferences in prolactin assays. materials and methods: a comprehensive lit...
