UDP- glucose: glycoprotein glucosyltransferase (UGGT) is a protein that operates as the gatekeeper for the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) quality control mechanism of glycoprotein folding. It is known that vertebrates and Caenorhabditis genomes harbor two uggt gene copies that exhibit differences
The effect of myogenic differentiation on the expression of choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) activity in co-cultured spinal cord neurons was studied. ChAT activity in spinal cord cells dissociated from 14-day mouse embryos was markedly increased when co-cultured with skeletal myotubes from

Treatment of chick myoblasts with the glucosidase inhibitors bromoconduritol (BCD) or N-methyl-1-deoxynojirimycin (MDJN), but not the mannosidase I inhibitor 1-deoxymannojirimycin (ManDJN), decreased their rate of adhesion to fibronectin and laminin and increased their rate of adhesion to collagen types I
N-methyl-1-deoxynojirimycin (MOR-14), an alpha-glucosidase inhibitor, reduces the glycogenolytic rate by inhibiting the alpha-1,6-glucosidase of glycogen-debranching enzyme in the liver, in addition to possessing an antihyperglycemic action by blocking alpha-1,4-glucosidase in the intestine. Because the reduction of the glycogenolytic rate may

We studied the effect of the glucosidase I inhibitor, N-methyl-1-deoxynojirimycin (MdN) and the mannosidase inhibitor, 1-deoxymannojirimycin (dMM) on the biosynthesis and secretion of alpha 2-plasmin inhibitor (alpha 2-PI) and antithrombin III (ATIII) in cultures of human hepatoma (Hep-G2) cells.
