Polyamine homeostasis in arginase knockout mice.
The role of ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) in polyamine metabolism has long been established, but the exact source of ornithine has always been unclear. The arginase enzymes are capable of producing ornithine for the production of polyamines and may hold important regulatory functions in the maintenance of this pathway. Utilizing our unique set of arginase single and double knockout mice, we ana...
متن کاملPulmonary Iron Homeostasis in Hepcidin Knockout Mice
Pulmonary iron excess is deleterious and contributes to a range of chronic and acute inflammatory diseases. Optimal lung iron concentration is maintained through dynamic regulation of iron transport and storage proteins. The iron-regulatory hormone hepcidin is also expressed in the lung. In order to better understand the interactions between iron-associated molecules and the hepcidin-ferroporti...
متن کاملAltered Sleep Homeostasis in Knockout Mice
INTRODUCTION The timing and quality of sleep are controlled by the interaction of a homeostatic process, that tracks sleep need as a function of the previous sleep/wake history, and a circadian process that ensures the appropriate timing of sleep relative to the daily light-dark alternation.1,2 Although these two processes seem functionally and neurophysiologically distinct, at the molecular le...
متن کاملP2X6 Knockout Mice Exhibit Normal Electrolyte Homeostasis
ATP-mediated signaling is an important regulator of electrolyte transport in the kidney. The purinergic cation channel P2X6 has been previously localized to the distal convoluted tubule (DCT), a nephron segment important for Mg2+ and Na+ reabsorption, but its role in ion transport remains unknown. In this study, P2x6 knockout (P2x6-/-) mice were generated to investigate the role of P2X6 in rena...
متن کاملAbnormal fluid homeostasis in apelin receptor knockout mice
The apelinergic system, comprised of apelin and its G protein-coupled receptor (APJ; APLNR as given in MGI Database), is expressed within key regions of the central nervous system associated with arginine vasopressin (AVP) synthesis and release as well as in structures involved in the control of drinking behaviour, including the magnocellular neurones of the hypothalamus, circumventricular orga...
