Biological context of Pxmp3

 

Associations of Pxmp3 with chemical compounds

  • The rate of cholesterol biosynthesis in 7- to 9-day-old PEX2(-/-) mice is markedly increased in most tissues, except in the brain and kidneys, where it is reduced [2].
  • It is also shown that the contractility evoked by the addition of SNP was not due to production of PAF, because its antagonist, WEB 2086 (10-30 mumol/L, a concentration that blocked contractions evoked by PAF 1 nmol/L), had no effect on the SNP-evoked contractions [5].
