Intestinal mucosal barrier function in health and disease.

30 Oct 2009 Mucosal surfaces are lined by epithelial cells. These cells establish a barrier between sometimes hostile external environments and the internal milieu. However, mucosae are also responsible for nutrient absorption and waste secretion, which require ... Read more...

Human dectin-1 deficiency and mucocutaneous fungal infections.

27 Oct 2009 Mucocutaneous fungal infections are typically found in patients who have no known immune defects. We describe a family in which four women who were affected by either recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis or onychomycosis had the early-stop-codon ... Read more...

Role of purinergic receptor in alpha fodrin degradation in Par C5 cells.

29 Sep 2009 Autoantibodies specific for alpha-fodrin fragments are found in the tissues of persons afflicted with Sjögren's syndrome (SS). However, the mechanism for alpha-fodrin degradation remains elusive. The following experiments utilized Par C5 cells to ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Membrane Proteins'

Definition: Proteins which are found in membranes including cellular and intracellular membranes. They consist of two types, peripheral and integral proteins. They include most membrane-associated enzymes, antigenic proteins, transport proteins, and drug, hormone, and lectin receptors.
