Disease relevance of CBLN3

 

High impact information on CBLN3

  • Therefore, cerebellin is not liberated from precerebellin by the classical dibasic amino acid proteolytic-cleavage mechanism seen in many neuropeptide precursors [3].
  • Three independent, overlapping cDNA clones have been isolated from a human cerebellum cDNA library that encode the cerebellin sequence [3].
  • Cerebellin enhances in vitro secretory activity of human adrenal gland [4].
  • Cerebellin concentration dependently increased basal catecholamine (norepinephrine and epinephrine) release by human adrenal slices, containing medullary chromaffin tissue, minimal and maximal effective concentrations being 10(-9) and 10(-7) mol/L [4].
  • Cerebellin did not affect basal steroid secretion of dispersed human adrenocortical cells, but it concentration dependently increased aldosterone and cortisol production by adrenal slices [4].

Anatomical context of CBLN3

 

Associations of CBLN3 with chemical compounds

  • Cleavage at the N-terminus of the cerebellin sequence in Cbln1 yields trimeric complexes by separating the trimer-mediating C-terminal C1q domain from conserved N-terminal cysteine residues that mediate higher order oligomerization [9].
  • Cerebellin concentration-dependently (from 10(-9)to 10(-7)M) increased norepinephrine (but not epinephrine) and cyclic-AMP production by adrenomedullary tissue in vitro [8].
  • Cerebellin (10(-7)M) also elicited a significant rise in aldosterone and corticosterone output, and this effect was annulled by either the beta1-adrenoceptor antagonist l -alprenolol or H-89 [8].
  • Collectively, the present findings allow us to conclude that cerebellin 1) directly stimulates norepinephrine release via the adenylate cyclase/PKA-dependent signaling pathway; and 2) indirectly enhances adrenocortical secretion in vivo, through a paracrine mechanism involving medullary catecholamine release [8].
  • The norepinephrine response to 10(-7)M cerebellin was blocked by the protein kinase (PK) A inhibitor H-89, but not by the phospholipase C inhibitor U-73122 or the PKC inhibitor calphostin-C [8].
 

Other interactions of CBLN3

  • Significant decreases in cerebellin and CRH concentrations were found in the cerebellar hemisphere of these diseases compared with controls [2].
