Raf kinase inhibitor protein (RKIP) is a member of the phosphatidylethanolamine-binding
protein (PEBP) family. RKIP plays a pivotal modulatory role in several protein kinase …

Acetylcholine (ACh) is the classical neurotransmitter in the cholinergic nervous system.
However, ACh is now known to regulate various immune cell functions. In fact, T cells, B …

Abstract Hemopressin (Hp), a 9-residue α-hemoglobin-derived peptide, was previously
reported to function as a CB 1 cannabinoid receptor antagonist (1). In this study, we report …

Proteins associated with membranes from purified rat liver autophagosomes were separated
by two-dimensional (2D) gel electrophoresis (zoom gels, pI 4-7 and 6-9), silver-stained and …

From its discovery as a phosphatidylethanolamine‐binding protein in bovine brain to its
designation as a physiological inhibitor of Raf kinase protein, RKIP has emerged as a critical …

Background: Raf kinase inhibitory protein (RKIP) belongs to the phosphatidylethanolamine
binding protein (PEBP) family that is expressed in both prokaryotic and euakaryotic …

We found that Grifola frondosa extracts induced the activation of mitogen-activated protein
kinase (MAPK) in cultured PC12 cells, a line of rat pheochromocytoma cells. The active …

The Raf kinase inhibitory protein 1 (RKIP-1) and its orthologs are conserved throughout
evolution and widely expressed in eukaryotic organisms. In its non-phosphorylated form …

The ability of the olfactory system to detect and discriminate a broad spectrum of odor
molecules with extraordinary sensitivity relies on a wide range of odorant receptors and on …

In mammals, odorant receptors not only detect odors but also define the target in the
olfactory bulb, where sensory neurons project to give rise to the sensory map. The odorant …
