The endothelium plays an important role in maintaining vascular homeostasis by synthesizing and releasing several mediators of vasodilation, which include prostacyclin (PGI(2)), nitric oxide, and endothelium-derived hyperpolarizing factor (EDHF). We have recently defined the role of nitric oxide and PGI(2)

We characterized the inhibitory activity of several acetylenic and olefinic compounds on cytochrome P450 (CYP)-derived arachidonic acid omega-hydroxylation and epoxidation using rat renal cortical microsomes and recombinant CYP proteins. Among the acetylenic compounds, 6-(2-propargyloxyphenyl)hexanoic acid (PPOH) and N-methylsulfonyl-6-(2-propargyloxyphenyl)hexanamide were found

S-palmitoylation is a reversible post-translational modification important for controlling the membrane targeting and function of numerous membrane proteins with diverse roles in signalling, scaffolding, and trafficking. We sought to identify novel palmitoylated proteins in B lymphocytes using acyl-biotin exchange chemistry
