  2. 21. The Relationship between Transmembrane Mucins, Ion Channels and PDZ Adaptor Proteins in the Small Intestine

    Author : Thaher Pelaseyed; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; intestine; mucin; MUC3; MUC17; SEA; PDZK1; GOPC; CFTR; NHE3;

    Abstract : The human body is continuously exposed to challenges from the surrounding world. In analogy with the skin, mucus is a well-organized and highly regulated barrier composed of polymeric and O-glycosylated mucins that protects luminal organs such as the gastrointestinal tracts from the outer milieu.

  4. 22. Glycan dependent Helicobacter spp. and Streptococcus oralis binding to mucins in the gastric and oral mucosal niches

    Author : Gurdeep Chahal; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Helicobacter pylori; Streptococcus; diversity; glycosylation;

    Abstract : Helicobacter pylori infects the stomach of half of the world’s population, while Helicobacter suis colonizes pigs and is the most common non-H. pylori Helicobacter species that also infects human stomach. Infection with Helicobacter spp. is associated with chronic gastritis, peptic ulcer disease, and gastric cancer. READ MORE

  5. 23. Studies towards ß-turn mimetics, synthesis of kedarosamine from threonine, and synthesis of glycopeptides from mucins and gp120

    Author : Tatjana Vuljanic; Centrum för analys och syntes; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Tn antigen; glycopeptides; glycosylation; diastereselective reduction; kedarosamine; kedarcidin chromophore; amino acids; peptide T; ß-turn mimetic; Organisk kemi; gp120; Organic chemistry;

    Abstract : The secondary structure of proteins is crucial for proper function of the protein in biological systems. Peptide T, an octapeptide from the envelope glycoprotein gp120 of the HIV virus, has previously been shown to be responsible for binding to the CD4 receptor on T helper/inducer lymphocytes.

  6. 24. Investigating mucin interactions with diverse surfaces for biomedical applications

    Author : Georgia Petrou; Thomas Crouzier; Anette Larsson; KTH; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; mucus; mucin; protein adsorption; biomaterials; lubrication; mucoadhesion; 4RepCT; Bioteknologi; Biotechnology;

    Abstract : Mucous membranes are covered with mucus, a viscoelastic hydrogel that plays an essential role in their protection from shear and pathogens. The viscoelasticity of mucus is owing to mucins, a group of densely glycosylated proteins. READ MORE

  7. 25. Helicobacter spp. – host interaction in the mucus niche

    Author : Médea Padra; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Helicobacter; mucin; glycosylation; adhesion;

    Abstract : Helicobacter pylori is the most common human gastric pathogen, colonizing half of the world's population. Helicobacter suis colonizes the stomach of 60-95% of pigs at slaughter age and it is the most prevalent non-Helicobacter pylori Helicobacter species found in the human stomach causing severe gastric disorders.
