Evidence for pyroglutamyl peptidase I and prolyl endopeptidase activities in the rat insulinoma cell line RINm 5F: lack of relationship with TRH metabolism.

Only registered users can translate articles

Thyrotropin-Releasing hormone (TRH)-degrading pyroglutamyl peptidase I (PGP I) and prolylendopeptidase (PE) activities have been demonstrated in rat insulinoma RINm 5F cell line. These two enzymes catalyze the conversion of TRH to Histydyl-Proline-Diketopiperazine and to acid TRH respectively. After

The hypofunctional effect of P335L single nucleotide polymorphism on SSTR5 function.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Somatostatin receptor subtype 5 (SSTR5) mediates the inhibitory effect of somatostatin on insulin expression/secretion and cell proliferation. A number of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of SSTR5 have been identified, including P335L, a nonsynonymous SNP located in the protein

OBJECTIVE To report a new mutation of the multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) gene in an Italian kindred. METHODS The study included the female proband, aged 50 years, affected by primary hyperparathyroidism, insulinoma and prolactinoma, and ten relatives. Blood samples were obtained for

Angiotensin I-converting enzyme inhibitory activity and insulin secretion stimulative activity of fermented fish sauce.

Only registered users can translate articles

Angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory peptides, Ala-Pro, Lys-Pro, and Arg-Pro, were isolated from fermented fish sauce. Five other proline-containing dipeptides having weak ACE inhibitory activity were also isolated from the fermented fish sauce. Orally administered Lys-Pro showed a

Increased cytokine-induced cytotoxicity of pancreatic islet cells from transgenic mice expressing the Src-like tyrosine kinase GTK.

BACKGROUND The loss of beta cells in type 1 diabetes may involve protein kinases because they control cell growth, differentiation, and survival. Previous studies have revealed that GTK, a Src-like protein tyrosine kinase expressed in beta cells (also named Bsk/Iyk), regulates multiple responses

Human pancreatic islets express mRNA species encoding two distinct catalytically active isoforms of group VI phospholipase A2 (iPLA2) that arise from an exon-skipping mechanism of alternative splicing of the transcript from the iPLA2 gene on chromosome 22q13.1.

Only registered users can translate articles

An 85-kDa Group VI phospholipase A2 enzyme (iPLA2) that does not require Ca2+ for catalysis has recently been cloned from three rodent species. A homologous 88-kDa enzyme has been cloned from human B-lymphocyte lines that contains a 54-amino acid insert not present in the rodent enzymes, but human

Neuropeptide Y is a minor autoantigen in newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes patients.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Autoantibodies (A) against Neuropeptide Y (NPY), was reported in 9% newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes (T1D) patients. A single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) at rs16139 (T1128C) within the NPY-gene identified an amino acid substitution from leucine (L) to proline (P) (L7P) associated with

Molecular cloning and characterization of a highly basic protein, IA-4, expressed in pancreatic islets and brain.

Only registered users can translate articles

A substraction library was constructed from mouse insulinoma (betaTC-1) and glucagonoma (alphaTC-1) cell lines. Differential screening and sequencing revealed a novel cDNA clone, IA-4, which was expressed in the islets of Langerhans and the brain. IA-4 cDNA is 1,007 bp in length and predicts a

The zinc-finger transcription factor INSM1 is expressed during embryo development and interacts with the Cbl-associated protein.

Only registered users can translate articles

Here we describe the isolation and characterization of the mouse homolog of the human zinc-finger transcription factor INSM1 (IA-1) and identify an interacting protein. A 2.9-kb cDNA with an open reading frame of 1563 nucleotides, corresponding to a translated protein of 521 amino acids, was
