  • The team found that the two proteins SATB1 and ZDHHC2 are more abundant in the dopaminergic neurons in the SNpc than in the VTA. (medicalnewstoday.com)
  • The ultimate goal is to figure out how long-term memory works at a molecular level by studying how CaMKII in neurons may act as a hub to maintain molecular signals over a long period of time. (umass.edu)

  • Newswise - DALLAS - March 29, 2018 - Researchers from UT Southwestern's Charles and Jane Pak Center for Mineral Metabolism and Clinical Research and Internal Medicine's Division of Nephrology recently published work in Nature that reveals the molecular structure of the so-called "anti-aging" protein alpha Klotho (a-Klotho) and how it transmits a hormonal signal that controls a variety of biologic processes. (newswise.com)
  • The structure of the a-Klotho protein and how the protein functions, however, largely remained a mystery until this current work. (newswise.com)
  • By providing a first look at the structure of the protein complex that includes FGF23 and its co-receptors, the FGF receptor and a-Klotho, the most recent study challenges the long-accepted belief that only the cell-attached form of aKlotho can serve as a receptor for FGF23 and hence that FGF23 action is restricted to tissues having the cell-attached form. (newswise.com)
  • One of the major, paradigm-changing findings revealed by solving the protein complex structure is that the circulating form of soluble a-Klotho can actually serve as a co-receptor for FGF23. (newswise.com)
  • In conclusion, the physical structure and chemical properties of the interacting parts determine the type of interface between two proteins. (jove.com)
