Opticin binds to heparan and chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans.
PURPOSE The extracellular matrix glycoprotein opticin is a small leucine-rich repeat proteoglycan/protein family member that was discovered associated with vitreous humor collagen fibrils. Opticin is present throughout the vitreous, but is particularly concentrated at the internal limiting lamina, where it colocalizes with type XVIII collagen. The present study investigated whether opticin inte...
متن کاملMolecular modeling of the interaction between heparan sulfate and cellular growth factors: bringing pieces together.
Heparan sulfate is a polysaccharide belonging to the glycaminoglycan family. It interacts with numerous proteins of the extracellular matrix, in particular cellular growth factors. The number of experimental protein-heparin sulfate complexes obtained by crystallography or nuclear magnetic resonance is limited. Alternatively, computational approaches can be employed. Generally, they restrain the...

مطالعات قبلی بازار بیمه را به صورت کلی در نظر می گرفتند اما در این مطالعه صنعت بیمه به عنوان متغیر مستفل به بیمه های زندگی و غیر زندگی شکسته شده و هم چنین بیمه های زندگی به رشته های مختلف بیمه ای که در بازار بیمه ایران سهم قابل توجهی دارند تقسیم میشود. با استفاده از روشهای اقتصاد سنجی داده های برای دوره های 48-89 از مراکز ملی داده جمع آوری شد سپس با تخمین مدل خود بازگشتی برداری همراه با تعدادی ...
15 صفحه اولMolecular basis for the dichotomy in Plasmodium falciparum adhesion to CD36 and chondroitin sulfate A.
Plasmodium falciparum-infected erythrocytes adhere dichotomously to the host receptors CD36 and chondroitin sulfate A (CSA). This dichotomy is associated with parasite sequestration to microvasculature beds (CD36) or placenta (CSA), leading to site-specific pathogenesis. Both properties are mediated by members of the variant P. falciparum erythrocyte membrane protein 1 (PfEMP-1) family and resi...
متن کاملThe molecular basis of human retinal and vitreoretinal diseases.
During the last two to three decades, a large body of work has revealed the molecular basis of many human disorders, including retinal and vitreoretinal degenerations and dysfunctions. Although belonging to the group of orphan diseases, they affect probably more than two million people worldwide. Most excitingly, treatment of a particular form of congenital retinal degeneration is now possible....
