  • Amyloidosis Amyloidosis is any of a group of disparate conditions characterized by extracellular deposition of insoluble fibrils composed of misaggregated proteins. (msdmanuals.com)
  • Pathological hallmarks of AD include the presence of hyperphosphorylated tau and amyloid protein deposition. (frontiersin.org)
  • The frameshift mutation results in the formation of a truncated protein which cannot fold properly, promoting aggregation, and subsequent deposition in tubular cells. (medscape.com)
  • Finally, direct measurement of mutant versus wildtype KRAS protein abundance revealed a frequent imbalance that may suggest additional non-gene duplication mechanisms for optimizing oncogenic Ras dosage. (nature.com)
  • 76% of Ras-mutant cancer patients harbor KRAS mutations versus only 7% with HRAS mutations [ 1 ]. (nature.com)
  • To help expand characterize the system of action of the compounds, microarray evaluation was utilized to evaluate gene expression information of mutant and outrageous type Notch T-ALL cell lines treated with NVS-ZP7C3. (ees2010prague.org)
  • Expression analysis of mutant XY gonads at the same stage also reveals a dramatic reduction in Sox9 and, crucially, Sry at the transcript and protein levels. (plos.org)
  • CONTEXT: Acid labile subunit (ALS) deficiency, caused by IGFALS mutations, is a subtype of primary IGF-I deficiency (PIGFD) and has been associated with insulin resistance (IR) and osteopenia. (ox.ac.uk)
  • Mild DAX1 mutations may be a cause of isolated mineralocorticoid deficiency. (northwestern.edu)
  • Genetic studies have clarified that most microcephaly genes encode ubiquitous proteins involved in mitosis and in maintenance of genomic stability, but the effects of their inactivation are particularly strong in neural progenitors. (cancerindex.org)
  • The contribution of CCL3L1 gene dosage could be teased apart from that of the noncopy-dependent variant of CCR5, already known to confer some resistance to HIV infection and HIV progression. (the-scientist.com)
  • FMF mutations are gain-of-function, that is, they confer new or enhanced activity on a protein, with a gene dosage effect (ie, more copies of the abnormal gene convey a greater effect). (msdmanuals.com)
  • Notch is certainly synthesized in the ER and it is cleaved with a furin-like convertase in the beliefs for natural procedure with unfolded protein response and asparagine N-linked glycosylation procedures highlighted. (ees2010prague.org)
  • Validation experiments with knockdown of GAB2 and Far-Western blots proved the direct interaction of SHP2 with p85, independent of adaptor proteins and transfected FLAG-p85 provided evidence that SHP2 binding on p85 occurred on the SH2 domains. (sdbonline.org)
