To more fully understand how SHRs function as transcription factors, it is therefore necessary to know how these receptor proteins are activated by hormone and bind to specific DNA sequences in the regulatory regions of target genes to either up- or down-regulate the rate of transcriptional ...

... phosphorylation of FMRP was also shown to increase its association with miRNA precursors [9,10]. Presumably, this interaction works to regulate translation of target mRNAs in an activity-dependent manner. Based on these findings, it has been proposed that the RISC proteins, including Argonaute (Ago) ...

VLDL receptor

The very-low-density-lipoprotein receptor (VLDLR) is a transmembrane lipoprotein receptor of the low-density-lipoprotein (LDL) receptor family. VLDLR shows considerable homology with the members of this lineage. Discovered in 1992 by T. Yamamoto, VLDLR is widely distributed throughout the tissues of the body, including the heart, skeletal muscle, adipose tissue, and the brain, but is absent from the liver. This receptor has an important role in cholesterol uptake, metabolism of apoprotein-E-containing triacylglycerol-rich lipoproteins, and neuronal migration in the developing brain. In humans, VLDLR is encoded by the VLDLR gene. Mutations of this gene may lead to a variety of symptoms and diseases, which include type I lissencephaly, cerebellar hypoplasia, and atherosclerosis.
