Highly Expression and Purification of an Antigenic Region (D259-R462) of Adenylate Guanylate Cyclase Protein, Applicable for ELISA Test

Abstract Leptospirosis is a wide spread bacterial zoonosis that is common worldwide. The disease symptoms are mild or acute. Leptospira has pathogenic and non-pathogenic species; it has a lot of surface antigens. Adenylate Guanylate Cyclase (AGC) is a membrane protein that is found only in pathogenic spe...

Role of adenylyl cyclase in reduced β-adrenoceptor-mediated vasorelaxation during maturation

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 49 (7), 2016
Beta-adrenergic receptor (βAR)-dependent blood vessel relaxation is impaired in older animals and G protein activation has been suggested as the causative mechanism. Here, we investigated the role of βAR subtypes (β1AR, β2AR, and β3AR) and cAMP in maturation-dependent vasorelaxat...

Pituitary Adenylate Cyclase Activating Peptide (1-38) and its analog (Acetyl-[Ala15, Ala20] PACAP 38-polyamide) reverse methacholine airway hyperresponsiveness in rats

Braz. j. pharm. sci; 51 (3), 2015
The aim of this study was to investigate both functionally and structurally bronchodilator effects of Pituitary adenylate cyclase activating peptide (PACAP38) and acetyl-[Ala15, Ala20] PACAP38-polyamide, a potent PACAP38 analog, in rats challenged by methacholine (MeCh). Male Wistar rats were divided ran...

Pode a exposição humana ao inseticida clorpirifós alterar o desenvolvimento do sistema nervoso central? Contribuições de experimentos em animais

(...) Neste trabalho, estudamos os efeitos imediatos da exposição a CPF em dois momentos específicos do período gestacional sobre a atividade da AC e sobre receptores B-adrenérgicos no cérebro de ratos. Além disso, investigamos se a exposição gestacional e neonatal a CPF produz alterações de l...

Clonagem do receptor de ACTH de células adrenocorticais Y-1 de camundongo e expressäo em fibroblastos 3T3 e células AR-1 para elucidaçäo de vias de transduçäo de sinal

O hormônio adrenocorticotrópico, ACTH, regula a função (esteroidogênese) e a proliferação das células da córtex das glândulas adrenais através de um único receptor específico, ACTHR, que pertence à superfamília GPCR (G-protein coupled receptors). Embora o ACTHR tenha sido clonado há 8 ano...
