ISG15 is an Ubiquitin-like protein, highly induced by Type I Interferons. Upon the cooperative activity of specific Ubiquitinating enzymes, ISG15 can be conjugated to its substrates. Increasing evidence points to a role for protein ISGylation in anti-viral and anti-tumoral defense.
Limb girdle muscular dystrophy type 2H (LGMD2H) is an inherited autosomal recessive disease of skeletal muscle caused by a mutation in the TRIM32 gene. Currently its pathogenesis is entirely unclear. Typically the regeneration process of adult skeletal muscle during growth

Susceptibility to the development of late-onset Alzheimer's disease is increased for individuals harboring one or more apolipoprotein E4 (apoE4) alleles. Although several isoform-specific effects of apoE have been identified, the relationship between biochemical function and risk factor assessment is unknown.
Potent endogenous protection from ischemia can be induced in the retina by ischemic preconditioning (IPC). Protein kinase B/Akt is a cellular survival factor. We hypothesized that Akt was integral to IPC based upon differential effects of Akt subtypes. Rats were
A new formulation of the small-molecule organic fluorophore, Pro-Q Diamond dye, has been developed that permits rapid and simple detection of phosphoproteins directly on polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) or nitrocellulose membranes (electroblots). Protein samples are first separated by electrophoresis and then
