Gastric motility in ghrelin receptor knockout mice.
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects and possible mechanisms of ghrelin receptor (GHS-R) deficiency on gastric motility in GHS-R deficient (Ghsr-/-) mice. Ghsr-/- and control (Ghsr+/+) mice were genotyped by PCR. The percentage of gastric emptying (GE%) was calculated following the intraperitoneal adminis-tration of ghrelin. In vitro, the contractile response of smooth muscle st...
متن کاملBone phenotypes of P2 receptor knockout mice.
The action of extracellular nucleotides is mediated by ionotropic P2X receptors and G-protein coupled P2Y receptors. The human genome contains 7 P2X and 8 P2Y receptor genes. Knockout mice strains are available for most of them. As their phenotypic analysis is progressing, bone abnormalities have been observed in an impressive number of these mice: distinct abnormalities in P2X7-/- mice, depend...
متن کاملComprehensive Behavioral Phenotyping of Ryanodine Receptor type 3 (RyR3) Knockout Mice: Decreased Social Contact Duration in Two Social Interaction Tests
Dynamic regulation of the intracellular Ca2+ concentration is crucial for various neuronal functions such as synaptic transmission and plasticity, and gene expression. Ryanodine receptors (RyRs) are a family of intracellular calcium release channels that mediate calcium-induced calcium release from the endoplasmic reticulum. Among the three RyR isoforms, RyR3 is preferentially expressed in the ...
متن کاملRyanodine Receptor
1.1 Size and Evolution The ryanodine receptor (RyR) is a selective Ca release channel that is localized to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) in both excitable and non-excitable cells. The RyR owes its name to the plant alkaloid and high affinity ligand ryanodine. The functional RyR exists as a tetramer composed of a single unit of approximately 565kDa. To date, it is the largest known ion channel....
متن کاملRyanodine receptor type 3: why another ryanodine receptor isoform?
The family of ryanodine receptor (RyR) genes encodes three highly related Ca2+ release channels: RyR1, RyR2 and RyR3. Until about 10 years ago, RyRs were essentially known only for being the Ca2+ release channels of the sarcoplasmic reticulum of striated muscles, because of the high levels of expression of the RyR1 and RyR2 isoforms in skeletal and cardiac muscles, respectively. In contrast wit...
