    Abstract : Megalin is an endocytotic receptor belonging to the low-density lipoprotein family. It has often been viewed only as merely a scavenger receptor of absorptive and secretory epithelia. Recent work has revealed that the megalin intracellular domain contains several motifs potentially binding proteins involved in signal transduction. READ MORE

  5. 3. Transcriptional regulation of genes expressed in the parathyroid gland

    Author : Anders Knutson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Surgery; Kirurgi; Surgery; Kirurgi; Surgery; kirurgi;

    Abstract : A dynamic interplay between promoter sequences and transcription factors ensures that genes are expressed at appropriate levels in each cell throughout the body. In the present investigation, the promoters of two different genes encoding proteins involved in parathyroid cell function and calcium homeostasis were studied. READ MORE
