seed protein quality is an important topic in the production of soybean. the quality of soybean proteins is limited by anti-nutrient proteins and low levels of essential sulfur amino acids. in this study, protein content and solubility of six cultivars were evaluated and seed storage proteins were analyzed using sds-page and scanning densitometry. the results showed that seed storage protein ba...

Objective(s): Soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptor (SNARE) complex proteins are involved in membrane trafficking. The expression of isoforms of SNAP-23, syntaxin-4, and VAMP-2 is significantly done in skeletal muscles; they control GLUT4 trafficking. It is believed that type 2 diabetes could be caused by the modifications in the express...

Background: The aim of this study was to compare the sperm protein profile between oligo- and normozoospermic patients with varicocele. Materials and Methods: Sperm samples of 20 normozoospermic and 20 oligozoospermic patients with varicocele were characterized using two dimensional electrophoresis (group 1 and group 2, respectively). Differences in protein expression were established using gel...

background: secretory proteins of ige receptor activated mast cells and basophils play a pivotal role in the generation of immediate and long term immune responses in allergy and type i hypersensitivity. objective: the present study aims to generate a 2-d map and profile of proteins secreted from a high secretory variant of the rat basophilic leukemia cell line, rbl-2h3.1, which in view of the ...

background: glucose uptake by muscles and fat cells is carried out by the glut4 system. isoforms of the snap23, syntaxin-4 and vamp-2 play an important role in regulating glut-4 trafficking and fusion in adipocytes. the changes of snare proteins levels and thus impaired glut-4 displacement can be one of the etiological causes of type 2 diabetes. due to changes in the expression of these protein...
