microRNA-142 (miR-142) is an important regulator of many biological processes and associated signaling pathways during embryonic development, homeostasis and disease. The miR-142 hairpin gives rise to the "guide strand" miR-142-3p and the sister "passenger" strand miR-142-5p. miR-142-3p has been shown to play critical, non-redundant functions in the development of the hematopoietic lineage.

Production of small-sized peptides is significant because their health benefits. Ultrafiltration (UF) membrane provides an effective fractionation on a large scale. Thus, the present study was aimed to evaluate performance multilayer UF in fractionating tilapia fish by-product (TB) protein hydrolysate by observing permeate flux, peptide transmission, and distribution under different stirring sp...

This study was conducted to determine which genotypes were present in southwestern Korea. Nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and DNA sequence analysis targeting the Orientia tsutsugamushi-specific 56-kDa protein gene was performed with samples of blood and eschar. Of the 69 PCR-positive samples, 61 clustered with the Boryong previously isolated in Korea. CUH 4-6 had sequence homology of 100...

GMP is a C-terminal hydrophilic casein-peptide formed by 64 amino acid residues which presents up to four carbohydrate chains (sialic acid-galactose-N-acetyl galactosamine) bonded to threonine residues in six different positions (121; 131; 133; 136; 142, and 165). Ramified chain amino acids prevail in its structure; nevertheless there is absence of aromatic amino acids (phenylalanine, tryptopha...
