2. 1. Structure and organization of genes for the predominant seminal plasma proteins semenogelin I, semenogelin II and beta-microseminoprotein

   Author : Magnus Ulvsbäck; Malmö Klinisk kemi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Clinical chemistry; transglutaminase substrate; semen coagulation; prostate; seminal vesicles; seminal plasma; rhesus monkey; human; evolution; nucleic acid sequence; cDNA; gene; semenogelin; b-microseminoprotein; Klinisk kemi; Proteins; enzymology; Proteiner; enzymologi;

   Abstract : In man, the predominant proteins in the seminal plasma include semenogelin I, semenogelin II and b-microseminoprotein (MSP). Semenogelin I and II are both synthesized in the seminal vesicles and are the backbone of the gel formed upon semen coagulation. MSP is synthesized in the prostate, but its role has not yet been defined. READ MORE

4. 2. Congenital Recessive Ichthyosis : Studies of Gene Expressions Related to Keratinocyte Differentiation and Skin Barrier Repair

   Author : Hanqian Zhang; Hans Törmä; Anders Vahlquist; Marie Virtanen; Mikael Ivarsson; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; genodermatoses; oligoarray; trancriptomics; transglutaminase-1; cornified envelope; peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor δ; all-trans retinoic acids.; Dermatologi och venereologi; Dermatology and Venerology;

   Abstract : Autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis (ARCI) is a rare monogenetic disorder characterized by a defective skin barrier, hyperkeratosis, and dry, scaly skin. It affects keratinocyte differentiation and is caused by mutations in any of at least 12 genes believed to control the formation of ω-O-acylceramide and the corneocyte lipid envelope (CLE): ABCA12, ALOXE3, ALOX12B, CERS3, CYP4F22, ELOVL4, LIPN, NIPAL4, PNPLA1, SDR9C7, SLC27A4, and TGM1.

5. 3. Hematopoiesis in a Crustacean

   Author : Xionghui Lin; Irene Söderhäll; Kenneth Söderhäll; Michael J. Williams; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; astakine; cytokine; hematopoiesis; prokineticin; transglutaminase; ATP synthase; innate immunity; apoptosis; Immunology; Immunologi; Biology with specialization in Comparative Physiology; Biologi med inriktning mot jämförande fysiologi;

   Abstract : Hemocytes (blood cells) play an important role in the immune response in invertebrates, and thus the regulation of hemocyte homeostasis (hematopoiesis) is essential for the host survival against pathogens. Astakine 1, a homologue to vertebrate prokineticins, was first identified in the freshwater crayfish Pacifastacus leniusculus as a cytokine, and was found to be necessary for new hemocyte synthesis and release in vivo, and also to induce spreading and proliferation of Hematopoietic tissue cells (Hpt cells, precursor of hemocytes) in vitro.

6. 4. Gene expression and genetic association studies in eczema

   Author : Agne Liedén; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Eczema is an itching relapsing and often chronic inflammatory skin disorder associated with cutaneous hyper reactivity to environmental triggers that are innocuous to normal individuals. The differentiation of epidermal keratinocytes leads to the formation of a physical barrier and together with appropriate innate immune responses produce a functional epidermal barrier protecting us against a number of detrimental factors in the external environment.

7. 5. Characterization and modelling of CEACAM1 interactions in cell signalling

   Author : Kristmundur Sigmundsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : CEACAM1, the primordial carcino-embryonic Ag gene family member, is a transmembrane cell adhesion molecule expressed in leukocytes, epithelia, and blood vessel endothelia. As a result of differential splicing, CEACAM1 occurs as several isoforms, the two major ones being CEACAM1-L and -S, that have long (L) or short (S) cytoplasmic domains, respectively. READ MORE
