The effect of zaldaride maleate (ZAL) on intracellular Ca2+-mediated short-circuit current (Isc) response in rat colonic mucosa was investigated. The Isc response to acetylcholine was partially reduced by the neuronal blocker tetrodotoxin. The tetrodotoxin-sensitive Isc response to acetylcholine was inhibited
Polysialic acid (PSA) and its major protein carrier, the neural cell adhesion molecule NCAM, play important roles in many nervous system functions during development and in adulthood. Here, we show that a PSA-carrying NCAM fragment is generated at the plasma

The steroid hormone estrogen elicits biological effects in cells by binding to and activating the estrogen receptor (ER). Estrogen binding induces a conformational change in the receptor, inducing nuclear translocation and transcriptional activation of ER. The ubiquitous Ca(2+)-binding protein calmodulin

Glycolysis, which is the primary energy source in cancer cells, is known to be controlled by allosteric regulators, as well as by reversible binding of glycolytic enzymes to cytoskeleton. We have previously found that different calmodulin antagonists decrease the levels

The antidiarrheal action of zaldaride maleate (ZAL) after oral, intravenous and subcutaneous administration was examined to determine whether ZAL acts systemically or locally in the intestine of rats. Oral administration of ZAL inhibited castor oil- and 16,16-dimethyl prostaglandin E2-induced diarrhea;
