The syntaxin family is implicated in intracellular vesicle traffic. We have recently identified
taxilin, a novel syntaxin-binding protein, which has a long coiled-coil region in its C-terminal …

Membrane traffic plays a crucial role in delivering proteins and lipids to their intracellular
destinations. We previously identified α-taxilin as a binding partner of the syntaxin family …

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune inflammatory disease affecting the joints
and surrounding tissue. Identification of novel proteins associated with the progression of a …

The present invention provides a nerve regeneration-inducing tube in which nerve is
inserted into a tubular structure and can be easily sutured and fixed without resort to any …

Myogenesis is required for the development of skeletal muscle. Accumulating evidence
indicates that the expression of several genes are upregulated during myogenesis and …

Background: Centrosomes localize to perinuclear foci, serving multifunctional roles,
arranging the microtubule organizing center (MTOC), and anchoring ubiquitin-proteasome …

This invention relates to an instrument for regenerating a living organism tissue or organ,
characterized in that a Support (A) formed from a biodegradable material or a bioabsorbable …

The mdp77 gene was first cloned from the cDNA library of denervated chick muscles, while
its role (s) in vivo was unknown. In the present study, using specific polyclonal antibodies …

The long‐term effects of the 77‐kDa muscle‐derived protein (MDP77) on motor and sensory
nerve regeneration were examined in vivo. Fourteen‐millimeter bridge grafts of the right …

We report here the expression of AmphiMdp in embryos and larvae. Faint AmphiMdp
transcripts were first detected in the mesendoderm at the mid-gastrula stage and later in the …
