There are different types of amyloid, and each type can be distinguished by the major protein component that it contains.
LDL predominated in fractions 6 8 with mostly β-motility and apoB100 as the major protein component.
Sericin, the second major protein component of B. mori silk, has been acknowledged rather reluctantly as a potential biomaterial due to a hypothesized allergenic activity.
The first phosphonate inhibitors of antigen 85C a major protein component of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis cell wall possessing mycolyltransferase activity were prepared using structure-based design.
Type 1 collagen is the major protein component of ordinary connective tissue, and fibroblasts are the cell type primarily responsible for its biosynthesis and remodeling.
Elastins encompass the class of protein-based materials derived from the sequence of tropoelastin, the major protein component of native elastic tissue in vertebrates.
Caveolin-1 (CAV1), the major protein component of caveolae and an important regulator of TGF-β signaling, is downregulated in the skin and lungs of SSc patients [226-229].
HDL predominated in fractions 10 12 (d=1.055 1.090 g/ml) and corresponded to the first HDL peak (HDL-A), with mostly α-mobility and apoA-I as the major protein component.
Amelogenins, the major protein component of the mineralizing enamel extracellular matrix are critical for normal enamel formation as documented in the linkage studies of a group of inherited disorders, with defective enamel formation, called Amelogenesis imperfecta.
Silk fibroin heavy chain is the major protein component of Bombyx mori silk fibroin and is composed of 12 repetitive and 11 non-repetitive regions, with the non-repetitive domain consisting of a hydrophilic polypeptide chain.
Furthermore, evidence was obtained that (i) adrenaline and noradrenaline share the same binding site, and that this site would correspond to a repeated sequence present in the SCO-spondin, the major protein component of RF; and (ii) serotonin has its own binding site in RF.
