• Dynamics of the Rhomboid-Like Protein Rhbdd2 Expression in Mouse Retina And Involvement of Its Human Ortholog in Retinitis Pigmentosa 

      Ahmedli, Novruz B.; Gribanova, Yekaterina; Njoku, Collins C.; Naidu, Akash; Young, Alejandra; Mendoza, Emmanuel; Yamashita, Clyde K.; Özgül, Rıza Köksal; Johnson, Jerry E.; Fox, Donald A.; Farber, Debora B. (Amer Soc Biochemistry Molecular Biology Inc, 2013)
      The novel rhomboid-like protein RHBDD2 is distantly related to rhomboid proteins, a group of highly specialized membrane-bound proteases that catalyze regulated intramembrane proteolysis. In retina, RHBDD2 is expressed ...
    • Ezrin Inhibition Up-Regulates Stress Response Gene Expression 

      Celik, Haydar; Bulut, Gulay; Han, Jenny; Graham, Garrett T.; Minas, Tsion Z.; Conn, Erin J.; Hong, Sung-Hyeok; Pauly, Gary T.; Hayran, Mutlu; Li, Xin; Ozdemirli, Metin; Ayhan, Ayse; Rudek, Michelle A.; Toretsky, Jeffrey A.; Uren, Aykut (Amer Soc Biochemistry Molecular Biology Inc, 2016)
      Ezrin is a member of the ERM (ezrin/radixin/moesin) family of proteins that links cortical cytoskeleton to the plasma membrane. High expression of ezrin correlates with poor prognosis and metastasis in osteosarcoma. In ...
    • Parathyroid Hormone and Parathyroid Hormone-Related Protein Exert Both Pro- and Anti-Apoptotic Effects In Mesenchymal Cells 

      Chen, HL; Demiralp, B; Schneider, A; Koh, AJ; Silve, C; Wang, CY; McCauley, LK (Amer Soc Biochemistry Molecular Biology Inc, 2002)
      During bone formation, multipotential mesenchymal cells proliferate and differentiate into osteoblasts, and subsequently many die because of apoptosis. Evidence suggests that the receptor for parathyroid hormone (PTH) and ...
