2-Deoxyribose-5-phosphate aldolase (DERA, EC 4.1.2.4) catalyzes the reversible aldol reaction between acetaldehyde and D-glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate to generate D-2-deoxyribose-5-phosphate. It is unique among the aldolases as it catalyzes the reversible asymmetric aldol addition reaction of two aldehydes. In order to expand the
Glycerol 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GPD) plays an important role in the energy metabolism and nutrition metabolism. In order to know about the biological functions of GPD of Clonorchis sinensis (C. sinensis), we identified a complete gene coding GPD from C. sinensis
Exposure to maternal overnutrition increases the expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (PPARgamma) in adipose tissue before birth, and it has been proposed that the precocial activation of PPARgamma target genes may lead to increased fat deposition in postnatal life. In
To investigate the effect of age on the key oxidation repair enzymes of the thioltransferase (TTase) and thioredoxin (TRx) systems in the human lens. Twenty-three normal human lenses (donor ages, 19-77 years) were grouped into second, third, fifth, sixth, and

To compare the organization of human and rat ocular medial recti muscles (MR). The cryosections of human and rat MR were processed for myofibrillar ATPase (mATPase), succinate dehydrogenase and glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase. To reveal myosin heavy chain (MyHC) isoforms, specific monoclonal
