Leucylleucine (Leu-Leu) may be used to study the functionality of dileucine motifs such as the motif responsible for internalization and targeting of vesicular acetylcholine transporter and clathrin adaptors AP-1 and AP-2.

Traditionally, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) was formed from cellular oxidative metabolism and often viewed as toxic waste. In fact, H2O2 was a benefit messenger for neuron-glia signaling and synaptic transmission. Thus, H2O2 was a double-edged sword and neuroprotection vs. neurotoxicity produced
Metastasis is responsible for the death of most breast cancer patients. Robo1 has been implicated as a tumor suppressor for various cancers including breast cancer. However, it is not well understood how Robo1 expression is regulated during tumorigenesis. In this
Different strains of Lactococcus lactis ssp. cremoris hydrolyze peptides at different rates while the cell-free extracts of these strains all show the same or much higher rates of hydrolysis. These observations indicate that the uptake of peptides is the rate-limiting

Microglia-mediated neuroinflammation is recognized to mainly contribute to the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD). Tetrahydroxystilbene glucoside (TSG) has been proved to be beneficial for health with a great number of pharmacological properties. We examined the effects of TSG against dopamine

The mechanisms by which the insulin-sensitive glucose transporter, GLUT4, is targeted and retained in a storage compartment near to the Golgi complex are poorly understood. Here we report that removal of the carboxyl-terminal acidic Pro(505)AspGluAsnAsp(509) sequence prevents the storage of
