Refined localization of human connexin32 gene locus, GJB1, to Xq13.1
(Elsevier, 1992-06)
Connexins are the peptide subunits of gap junctions that interconnect cells to allow the direct, intercellular transfer of small molecules. Recently, the human connexin32 gene (locus designation GJB1) has been regionally ...
Genotypes with the apolipoprotein Â4 allele are predictors of coronary heart disease mortality in a longitudinal study of elderly Finnish men
(Springer-Verlag; Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg, 1996-03)
Earlier we reported that allelic variation in the gene coding for apolipoprotein (apoE) is a significant predictor of variation in the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) death in a longitudinal study of elderly Finnish ...
Short-Term Adrenalectomy Increases Glucocorticoid and Mineralocorticoid Receptor mRNA in Selective Areas of the Developing Hippocampus
(Elsevier, 1993-10)
In the central nervous system, adrenal steroids bind to two different types of corticosteroid receptors: glucocorticoid (GR) or mineralocorticoid (MR). In vitro biochemical and autoradiographic techniques have been used ...
Tn917 transposase. Sequence correction reveals a single open reading frame corresponding to the tnpA determinant of Tn3-family elements
(Elsevier, 1991-03)
A nucleotide sequence correction on the Enterococcus faecalis transposon Tn917 indicates that what was formerly thought to be two open reading frames (ORF5 and ORF6) is actually one reading frame (ORF5). The latter exhibits ...
Characterization of the human gene for a newly discovered carbonic anhydrase, CA VII, and its localization to chromosome 16
(Elsevier, 1991-12)
Six carbonic anhydrase (CA) isozymes (CA I-VI) in mammals and other amniotes have been described. We have isolated an additional CA gene from a human genomic library and designated its putative product carbonic anhydrase ...
Characterization of the genes encoding carbonic anhydrase I of chimpanzee and gorilla: comparative analysis of 5' flanking erythroid-specific promoter sequences
(Elsevier, 1993-09-15)
The genes encoding carbonic anhydrase I (CA I) have been characterized for chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes) and gorilla (Gorilla gorilla). In addition, 44 nucleotides (nt) at the 5' end of the noncoding first exon (exon la), ...
CSF somatostatin in Alzheimer's disease and major depression: Relationship to hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and clinical measures
(Elsevier, 1993)
Patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and major depression have been shown to have overlapping clinical symptoms and biological markers, including decreased concentrations of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) somatostatin-like ...
Changes at multiple levels of the hypothalamo-pituitary adrenal axis following repeated electrically induced seizures
(Elsevier, 1990)
Seizures, including electrically induced seizures (ECS), activate the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis in rats. The present studies were undertaken to characterize the effects of repeated ECS on hormone release and ...
Yeast expression vectors using RNA polymerase III promoters
(Elsevier, 1994-12-30)
A series of Saccharomyces cerevisiae -- Escherichia coli shuttle vectors is described in which small RNAs can be stably expressed in yeast from two different promoters for RNA polymerase III transcription. The vectors are ...
