Disease relevance of Dpagt1

  • Primary cultures of fetal murine cortical neurons were subjected to paradigms of either exogenous or endogenous glutamate toxicity to evaluate the neuroprotective value of GPT [1].
  • The preventive effect of CAT on a hepatic ischemia/reperfusion injury was examined in mice by measuring the GOT and GPT levels in plasma [2].
 

High impact information on Dpagt1

 

Biological context of Dpagt1

  • The 3'-end reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction analysis indicated that the first of the two polyadenylation sites was used predominantly, in agreement with a approximately 2.0-kilobase pair GPT message seen on Northern blots of RNA from a wide variety of mouse tissues [5].
  • Transcription from the promoter containing the mutated direct repeats was increased greatly, consistent with the conclusion that these motifs functions in vivo to repress GPT gene expression [4].
  • With the use of a panel of mouse/hamster somatic-cell hybrids and a specific probe derived from the 3'-non-coding region of the mouse cDNA, the GPT gene was mapped to mouse chromosome 17 [6].
  • An antiserum raised against a 15-residue peptide, derived from the predicted amino acid sequence of the cloned mouse cDNA, specifically precipitated the activity of GPT from solubilized mouse mammary gland microsomes, and detected a protein of about 48 kDa on Western blot [6].
  • These results indicate that GPT function is essential in early embryogenesis and suggest that N-glycosylation is needed for the viability of cells comprising the peri-implantation stage embryo [7].

Associations of Dpagt1 with chemical compounds

 

Regulatory relationships of Dpagt1

  • The results showed that co-transfection of STAT5a or prolactin receptor can enhance Dpagt2 promoter activities in the promoter construct pGL-MX6 (from base pairs -386 to -5), but not in the promoter construct pGL-MX7 (from base pairs -322 to -5) [8].
 

Other interactions of Dpagt1

  • This size is in good agreement with that predicted from the cDNA sequence, and also with that (46 and 50 kDa) of purified bovine GPT [6].
