Disease relevance of Bzrap1

 

High impact information on Bzrap1

  • CONCLUSIONS: Peripheral CRH may play a proinflammatory role in toxin A-induced intestinal secretion and inflammation and that CRH(1) receptor, at least in part, is important in the mediation of these responses [6].
  • RESULTS: Peripheral injection of leptin inhibited in a dose-dependent manner, basal gastric secretion, gastrinemia, and mucosal gastrin mRNA in vivo. mRNAs encoding the long (Ob-Rb) and short (Ob-Ra) receptor forms were detected in rat antral mucosa, as were STAT-1, -3, and -5b immunoreactive proteins [7].
  • IL-7/STAT5 Cytokine Signaling Pathway Is Essential but Insufficient for Maintenance of Naive CD4 T Cell Survival in Peripheral Lymphoid Organs [8].
  • We named it PRAX-1, for peripheral benzodiazepine receptor-associated protein 1 [9].
  • The PRAX-1 mRNA is 7.5 kilobase pairs, predominantly expressed in the central nervous system, pituitary gland, and thymus [9].

Biological context of Bzrap1

 

Anatomical context of Bzrap1

  • At the protein level, we found the PRAX-1 as a single 220-250-kDa protein in the brain and in many different human cell lines tested using specific antibody raised against PRAX-1 [9].
  • PRAX-1 is a cytoplasmic protein that also partially colocalizes with PBR in the mitochondria, as determined by confocal microscopy and Western blotting [9].
  • Immunocytochemistry analysis carried out to define the distribution of the PRAX-1 protein in the rat brain showed that PRAX-1 was prevalent in the mesolimbic system, specially abundant in the CA1 subfield of the hippocampus [9].
  • Developmental potential of CD4-8- thymocytes. Peripheral progeny include mature CD4-8- T cells bearing alpha beta T cell receptor [14].
  • Thymic dependence of loss of tolerance in mixed allogeneic bone marrow chimeras after depletion of donor antigen. Peripheral mechanisms do not contribute to maintenance of tolerance [15].
