Functional characterization of urate handling by hSLC2A9 (hGLUT9) splice variants in a heterologous expression system
DownloadSpring 2012
Multiple, independent Genome Wide Association Studies have uncovered a significant correlation between abnormal plasma urate levels and single nucleotide polymorphisms within the hSLC2A9 gene. The gene product was originally characterized as a high affinity D-glucose and D-fructose transporter,...

Kidney stone disease is a common and serious problem with increasing incidence and frequency across the world. Hypercalciuria is an independent risk factor for the most common type of kidney stones i.e. calcium oxalate and calcium phosphate stones. Annually, billions of dollars are spent on...

Background: Diabetes is characterized by dysregulated glucose homeostasis that leads to hyperglycemia, due in part to increased hepatic glucose production (GP) and insulin resistance. Excessive levels and/or action of glucocorticoids (GCs) are associated with obesity, insulin resistance, and...

The tripeptide glutathione (GSH, γ-Glu-Cys-Gly) is the most abundant non-protein thiol in mammalian cells. The thiol group within the Cys residue forms a nucleophilic center and neutralizes electronegative charges conferring antioxidant activity to GSH. The addition of GSH to electrophiles can be...

In the chicken embryo, GH gene expression occurs in the neural retina, where it promotes cell survival and induces axonal growth of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs). Neuroretinal GH is therefore of functional importance before the appearance of somatotrophs and the onset of pituitary GH secretion to...
