Words similar to glycoprotein
Example sentences for: glycoprotein
How can you use “glycoprotein” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Calnexin, Calreticulin, GRP94 (glycoprotein 96) and GRP78 (BiP) have been identified on the cell surface of immature thymocytes [ 16 17 ] . Cell surface expression of GRP94 is found in lymphocytes and lymphoid-like cells from several vertebrate species and is phylogenetically conserved [ 18 ] . Calnexin has been found on the surface of pro-B cells [ 19 ] , as well as in a variety of mammalian culture cells [ 20 ] and a number of HSPs are found expressed on the cell surface in human and murine tumor cells [ 21 22 23 24 ] . Calreticulin, GRP78 and PDI were described on the plasma membrane of different cell types [ 25 26 27 28 ] ; GRP78, GRP94, and PDI, have been found on the surface of rat exocrine pancreatic cells [ 29 30 ] , and GRP78 cell surface expression was recently shown in human endothelial cells [ 31 ] .
The candidate genes for this study include the gene encoding β-fibrinogen and the genes encoding platelet glycoprotein (GP) receptors Ia/IIa, Ib/IX/V, and IIb/IIIa.
The envelope glycoprotein gp120 released from HIV-1 BaL was quantitated as follows: Wells of polystyrene plates were first coated with protein A/G (1 μg/well) in 0.1 M Tris buffer, pH 8.8 for 2 h at 20°C followed by polyclonal rabbit anti-gp120 (diluted 500-fold) for 1 h at 20°C.
VEGF is a 45 kDA heparin-binding homodimeric glycoprotein with a predominant specificity to vascular endothelial cells [ 4 5 6 7 ] . Recent investigations demonstrate that VEGF increases vascular permeability [ 4 ] , endothelial cell proliferation in vitro [ 8 ] , and angiogenesis in vivo [ 9 ] . We have previously demonstrated that VEGF mRNA is upregulated in rat gastrocnemius muscle following 1 hour of acute submaximal treadmill exercise [ 10 ] , in dog gastrocnemius muscle following 1 hour of electrical stimulation [ 11 ] , and in human vastus lateralis following 30 min of one-legged knee extension exercise at 50% maximal capacity [ 12 ] . Other studies show similar upregulation of VEGF mRNA in chronically electrically stimulated rat skeletal muscle [ 13 14 ] , and in human vastus lateralis following 45 min of one-legged knee extension exercise [ 15 ] .
C/EBP is previously reported to be an important accessory factor for transactivation by several other transcription factors [ 26 ] . C/EBPβ was shown to transactivate the α1-acid glycoprotein gene promoter even when mutated in the DNA-binding domain, and this activation appeared to depend on protein-protein interaction with glucocorticoid receptor through the leucine zipper region [ 27 ] . Recently, a conserved domain in C/EBPα and C/EBPβ was shown to mediate cAMP responsiveness, strengthening the fact that C/EBP may be characterized as a cAMP-responsive nuclear regulator [ 28 29 ] . On the COX-2 promoter in granulosa cells, cAMP-mediated regulation was shown to be mediated primarily by an E-box that bind USF1 and USF2 isoforms in a manner resembling the RIIβ E-box in Sertoli cells [ 30 ] . Transactivation of the COX-2 gene in skin carcinoma cells is highly dependent on this E-box together with a C/EBP binding site that bind C/EBPβ and C/EBPδ [ 31 ] . These data strengthens a model of formation of a cAMP-responsive unit (CRU) containing USF and C/EBP.
