TGCs secrete various proteins such as extracellular matrix components, cell adhesion molecules, cytokines, and hormones to promote embryo implantation and maternal adaptations during pregnancy2.
LBTs are short and genetically encodable polypeptide sequences derived from Ca2+ binding loops of various proteins such as troponin C. Since lanthanide ions have similar ionic and structural characteristics as Ca2+ ions, they have a significant binding affinity for Ca2+ binding loops8.
Various proteins such as Mb, hemoglobin (Hb), cyt c, bacteriorhodopsin (bR), lactate oxidase, alkaline phosphatase (AP), GOD, HRP, urease, superoxide dismutase, tyrosinase, and acetylcholinesterase have been immobilized into different sol gel matrices.
Various proteins, such as BMP-2, 4, 7, and 14, have been reported to have osteoinductive abilities in animal experiments.
The method has been coupled with HPLC to determine the binding of drugs and various proteins such as HSA, AGP and lipoproteins in plasma [79].
Expression of heterologous proteins by viruses is the basis of several manufacturing processes that are currently being used for the production of various proteins such as vaccine antigens and antibodies.
TGF-β1 also regulates the behaviour of keratinocytes by inducing the expression of various ECM proteins such as tenascin, thrombospondin, fibronectin, vitronectin, collagen and several proteoglycans etc. [22], [13], [25], [16], [26], [42], [32], [48].
TGF-β1 also regulates the behaviour of keratinocytes by inducing the expression of various ECM proteins such as tenascin, thrombospondin, fibronectin, vitronectin, collagen and several proteoglycans [8], [21] [23], [30], [45], [52] [53].
Markov State Models (MSMs) have proven to be powerful tools for describing the kinetics of equilibrium processes in protein folding53,54, and in studies of functional mechanisms of various membrane proteins such as GPCRs, or activation pathways of kinases55,56.
To understand the possible signal transduction pathways, expression of various signal proteins such as Aryl Hydrocarbon receptor (AhR), cytochrome P450 (CYP1A1), Bcl-2, proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), Bax and Caspase-3 was studied.
Bacillus species use a variety of proteins to resist the toxic effects of H2O2, including catalases, and various reducing proteins such as alkyl hydroperoxide reductase and peroxiredoxins [60].
