  • Hydrogen sulfide upregulated mRNA expressions of sodium bicarbonate cotransporter1, trefoil factor1 and trefoil factor2 in gastric mucosa in rats.: Investigates the role of ᴅʟ-Propargylglycine, in upregulating specific mRNA expressions in gastric mucosa, with implications for gastrointestinal research (Cheraghi et al., 2016).

Biochem/physiol Actions

DL-Propargylglycine (PAG) is an irreversible inhibitor of the enzyme cystathionine γ-lyase (GCL), a key enzyme involved in glutathione synthesis and the metabolic transsulfuration pathway which regulates homocysteine concentration and mediates cysteine synthesis. Treatment of animal disease models with PAG was shown to alleviate symptoms of diseases that impair the formation or action of hydrogen sulfide (H2S).

Hydrogen sulphide (H2S) is increasingly being recognized as an important signalling molecule in the cardiovascular and nervous systems. The production of H2S from L-cysteine is catalysed primarily by two enzymes, cystathionine gamma-lyase and cystathionine beta-synthase. Evidence is accumulating to demonstrate

To anticipate potential seedling damage, plants block seed germination under unfavorable conditions. Previous studies investigated how seed germination is controlled in response to abiotic stresses through gibberellic and abscisic acid signaling. However, little is known about whether seeds respond to
