For larger proteins, efficient deblocking prior to Edman sequencing is especially important to obtain quality, extended sequencing data which is limited by the stepwise accumulation of background from the random acid hydrolysis of the protein. Therefore, any portion that remains

Peptides play important roles in cell regulation and signaling in many tissues and are regulated by peptidases, most of which are highly expressed in the kidney. Several peptide convertases have a function in different tumor stages, and some have been

TRH administration induces arousal, improves cognition, and modulates glutamatergic and cholinergic transmission in hippocampal neurons. To study the possible involvement of TRH neurons in learning and memory processes, gene expression of TRH, its receptors, and pyroglutamyl peptidase (PPII), were measured

In order to determine pyroglutamic acid levels in plasma, we developed a method based on precolumn derivatization of the carboxyl group of pyroglutamic acid with 2-nitrophenylhydrazine. Eight-week-old male SD strain rats were administered 200 mg of an acidic peptide fraction
