Disease relevance of POU6F1

 

High impact information on POU6F1

 

Chemical compound and disease context of POU6F1

  • Intraperitoneal application of vinconate (100 and 300 mg/kg) 10 min and pentobarbital (40 mg/kg) 30 min before ischemia showed a mild reduction in the [3H]CHA binding in the brain 5 h after ischemia [9].
 

Biological context of POU6F1

  • Here we identify novel DNA binding sites for the POU protein mPOU (POU6F1) [10].
  • A potential function of Brn-5 may be to suppress the action of proliferative signals in postmitotic neurons and thus prevents them from reentering the cell cycle [11].
  • This 5' region was obtained via PCR methods using a human brain 5' RACE-Ready cDNA library [12].
  • We also documented seasonal variations in brain serotonergic function by our finding of reduced brain 5-HTT availability in winter (compared to summer) in healthy controls [13].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of POU6F1

  • We assessed brain 5-HT1A receptor binding potential directly using the specific radioligand [11C]WAY-100635 and positron emission tomography (PET) [1].
  • No FBM metabolites were detected in brain 5 min after administration: In silica gel thin-layer chromatography (TLC), a single [14C]FBM peak was detected--Rf = 0.504 (70:30 acetone:hexane) [18].
  • This lesion did not demonstrate significant changes in the vasculature but did have radiation necrosis of the surrounding brain 5 years after 25 Gy equivalents of helium-ion radiosurgery [19].
