L-amino acid sensing by the extracellular Ca2+-sensing receptor.
The extracellular calcium (Ca(2+)(o))-sensing receptor (CaR) recognizes and responds to (i.e., "senses") Ca(2+)(o) as its principal physiological ligand. In the present studies, we document that the CaR is activated not only by extracellular calcium ions but also by amino acids, establishing its capacity to sense nutrients of two totally different classes. l-Amino acids, especially aromatic ami...
متن کاملExtracellular Ca2+-sensing receptor expression and hormonal regulation in rat uterus during the peri-implantation period.
The extracellular Ca2+-sensing receptor (CaR) is a member of the superfamily of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). It is an important mediator of a wide range of Ca2+-dependent physiological responses in various tissues. In reproductive tissues it has been reported to play a significant role in promoting or maintaining placentation. Meanwhile, another Ca2+ regulated gene stanniocalcin-1 (STC-...
متن کاملMolecular cloning and characterization of a rat sensory nerve Ca2+-sensing receptor.
A full-length cDNA encoding a Ca2+-sensing receptor (CaSR) expressed in rat dorsal root ganglia (DRG) was identified using rapid amplification of 5'-cDNA ends and primer extension and then cloned into the plasmid vector pCR3.1. The DNA sequence of the DRG CaSR was 99.9% homologous with published rat kidney CaSR in the coding region and 247 bp upstream of the start site but showed little homolog...
متن کاملIdentification and localization of extracellular Ca2+-sensing receptor in rat intestine.
The extracellular calcium ([Formula: see text])-sensing receptor (CaR) plays vital roles in [Formula: see text] homeostasis, but no data are available on its expression in small and large intestine. Polymerase chain reaction products amplified from reverse-transcribed duodenal RNA using CaR-specific primers showed >99% homology with the rat kidney CaR. Northern analysis with a CaR-specific cRNA...
متن کاملPURIFICATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF THE CLONED HUMAN GM-CSF GENE EXPRESSED IN ESCHERICHIA COLI
The human granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulation factor (hGM-CSF) gene was cloned in the pET 23a( +) expression vector under the control of strong bacteriophage T7 transcription and translation signals. The hGM-CSF gene was transferred into E. coli strainBL21 (DE3)pLysS andIPTG was used for induction of GM-CSF gene. Production of the target protein was obtained as revealed by ELISA and ...
