Protein Kinase Inhibitors Block Neurite Outgrowth from Explants of Goldfish Retina
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers; Plenum Publishing Corporation ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1997-10)
A role for protein phosphorylation in the process of neurite outgrowth has been inferred from many studies of the effects of protein kinase inhibitors and activators on cultured neurotumor cells and primary neuronal cells ...
Isolation and expression of the Drosophila drosulfakinin neural peptide gene product, DSK-I
(Elsevier, 1992-08)
The Drosophila drosulfakinin (dsk) gene encodes the cholecystokinin homologues drosulfakinin-I (DSK-I) and drosulfakinin-II (DSK-II). The naturally occurring DSKI peptide was isolated from an extract of adult flies and its ...
William Hogarth, Unwitting Neurochemist?
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers; Plenum Publishing Corporation ; Springer Science+Business Media, 2000-10)
William Hogarth's famous etching Gin Lane is often used to illustrate the debilitating results of alcohol addiction. Less well known is the companion etching Beer Street in which death, murder and squalor are replaced by ...
The retina as a biochemical model of central nervous system regeneration
(Elsevier, 1980)
The visual system of primitive vertebrates has long served as a useful model for the resynthesis of damaged neurons. The prior optic nerve crush imparts a marked tendency on the part of cultured retinal explants to extend ...
Laminin supports neurite outgrowth from explants of axotomized adult rat retinal neurons
(Elsevier, 1986-07)
The influence of laminin on neurite outgrowth from explants of adult rat retina and its distribution in normal and lesioned rat optic nerves were examined. Neurite outgrowth required the presence of laminin in the substratum, ...
Wortmannin Blocks Goldfish Retinal Phosphatidylinositol 3-Kinase and Neurite Outgrowth
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers; Plenum Publishing Corporation ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1997-04)
The goldfish retina has been used extensively for the study of nerve regeneration. A role for phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) in neurite outgrowth from goldfish retinal explants has been examined by means of wortmannin ...
Studies of Posttranslational Modifications in Spiny Dogfish Myelin Basic Protein
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers; Plenum Publishing Corporation ; Springer Science+Business Media, 2001-05)
The objective of this investigation was to determine whether nonmammalian myelin basic protein contained charge isomers resulting from extensive posttranslational modifications as seen in mammalian MBP. Four charge isomer ...
Dissociation of enhanced ornithine decarboxylase activity and optic nerve regeneration in goldfish
(Elsevier, 1982-06)
The significance of a previously observed increase in retinal ornithine decarboxylase (ODC, EC 4.1.1.17) following optic nerve crush was investigated in goldfish using a specific irreversible inhibitor of ODC, [alpha]-di ...
Isolation and Immunocytochemical Characterization of Three Tachykinin-Related Peptides from the Mosquito, Culex salinarius
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers; Plenum Publishing Corporation ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1998-02)
Three myotropic peptides belonging to the Arg-amide insect tachykinin family were isolated from whole-body extracts of the mosquito, Culex salinarius . The peptides, APSGFMGMR-NH 2 , APYGFTGMR-NH 2 and APSGFFGMR-NH 2 ...
Nucleotide sequence and expression of the mouse corticotropin-releasing hormone gene
(Elsevier, 1991-06)
The mouse corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) gene has been isolated and characterized by DNA sequence analysis. The gene exhibits a structural organization similar to that of the human, rat, and ovine genes with two ...
