It is widely accepted that fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) plays a central role in the hydrolysis of anandamide. However, we found a second N-acylethanolamine hydrolase in animal tissues which hydrolyzed anandamide at acidic pH. This "acid amidase" was first
The pathophysiology of brain lesions associated with cerebral palsy is multifactorial and likely involves excess release of glutamate and excess production of free radicals, among other factors. Theoretically, antioxidants could limit the severity of these brain lesions. Peroxiredoxins are a

ICAM-4 (LW blood group glycoprotein) is an erythroid-specific membrane component that belongs to the family of intercellular adhesion molecules and interacts in vitro with different members of the integrin family, suggesting a potential role in adhesion or cell interaction events
2,3-butanediol is a promising bulk chemical due to its extensive industry applications. The state-of-the-art nature of microbial 2,3-butanediol production is reviewed in this paper. Various strategies for efficient and economical microbial 2,3-butanediol production, including strain improvement, substrate alternation, and process
Applied microbiology and biotechnology, 78(6), 917-926 (2008-03-06)
1,3-Propanediol and 2,3-butanediol are two promising chemicals which have a wide range of applications and can be biologically produced. The separation of these diols from fermentation broth makes more than 50% of the total costs in their microbial production. This
