Using RPE65 as a tool to investigate ocular gene therapies While not life threatening, blindness and retinal disease are profoundly debilitating and greatly affect quality of life. Understandably, gene therapy has been subject to controversy given it’s potential effects on the rest of our cellular ... Read more. |
NFkB and p62 Both Activate and Regulate Inflammation Nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NFkB) is a protein complex that regulates DNA transcription and is a critical regulator of cell survival. NFkB has long been known as a primer of inflammation, however researchers are ... Read more. |
Dual applications of a c-Myc antibody in mitochondrial research c-Myc, a proto-oncogene, has documented involvement in cellular differentiation, cell growth, cell death and tumor formation. Target genes of the Myc family include those that participate in cell survival, translation, transcription, metabolism and... Read more. |
Mitogen Activated Protein Kinase (MAPK) and Extracellular Signal-Regulated Kinases (ERK) Cell Signaling Extracellular Signal-Regulated Kinases (ERK) also known as the Mitogen-activated Protein Kinase (MAPK), MAPK/ERK proteins are a family of protein-serine/threonine kinases that are activated via the phosphorylation of tyrosine. MAPK/ERK are activated b... Read more. |
Caspase 9 and Mitochondrial Apoptosis Regulation Caspase 9 (also termed ICE-LAP6, Mch6, Apaf-3) is a member of cysteine protease family of caspases and is encoded by the CASP9 gene in humans. Caspase-9 is involved in mitochondrial apoptosis pathway and is an initiator caspase. Pro-caspase-9 is activ... Read more. |

MAPK3/ERK1 - A signal transduction pathway with roles in development and disease Mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) are important signaling proteins needed to transmit and relay extracellular stimuli and to illicit intracellular responses (1). The MAPK family of proteins are serine/threonine kinases that are able to phos... Read more. |
