Disease relevance of AAMP

 

High impact information on AAMP

 

Biological context of AAMP

  • Both the human and yeast proteins show an unusual and almost identical arrangement of immunoglobulin type domains, WD40 repeats, a protein kinase C phosphorylation consensus site in the carboxyl region, and a positively charged amino-terminal region that in AAMP has heparin binding potential [4].
 

Anatomical context of AAMP

  • Polyclonal antibodies generated to P189 readily react with AAMP (52 kDa) in brain and activated T lymphocyte lysates, alpha-actinin (100 kDa) in all tissues tested, and a 23-kDa protein in skeletal muscle lysates [3].
  • Therefore, regulation of extracellular AAMP by astrocytes is hypothesized to aid in angiogenesis of the nervous system [5].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of AAMP

  • The results of one such experimental measurement and analysis are here reported for a new design of 103palladium source, model MED3633 (North American Scientific, Inc.). By AAMP Task Group #43 recommendations, the reference material for brachytherapy dosimetry is liquid water [6].
  • Transwell cocultures of human astrocytes and BAECs increase (53%) the amount of extracellular AAMP found associated with endothelial cells [5].
