Disease relevance of Arhgap17

  • Differences noted in enzyme II directed RNA synthesis under varying salt conditions in nuclei isolated from uninfected and Friend virus (FV)-infected spleen cells, have been attributed to chromosomal modifications (Babcock and Rich 1973) [1].
  • Regulation of Secreted Protein Acidic and Rich in Cysteine during Adipose Conversion and Adipose Tissue Hyperplasia [2].
 

High impact information on Arhgap17

  • Using synthetic peptides, we have identified two distinct regions of the glycoprotein SPARC (Secreted Protein Acidic and Rich in Cysteine) (osteonectin/BM-40) that inhibit cell spreading [3].
  • Oxidative Stress Induces Premature Senescence by Stimulating Caveolin-1 Gene Transcription through p38 Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase/Sp1-Mediated Activation of Two GC-Rich Promoter Elements [4].
  • Here, we demonstrate that Secreted Protein, Acidic, Rich in Cysteine, SPARC, predominantly secreted by mesenchymal parietal endoderm specifically promotes early myocardial cell differentiation in embryoid bodies [5].
  • SPARC (Secreted Protein Acidic and Rich in Cysteine) is a multifunctional glycoprotein belonging to a group of matrix-associated factors that mediate cell-extracellular matrix interactions but have no structural roles [6].
  • Proliferating Leydig cells also exhibit elevated levels of mRNA for SPARC (Secreted Protein, Acidic and Rich in Cysteine), a Ca2(+)-binding glycoprotein associated with changes in cell shape that accompany morphogenesis and tissue remodeling [7].
 

Biological context of Arhgap17

 

Anatomical context of Arhgap17

  • SPARC (Secreted Protein that is Acidic and Rich in Cysteine) is a Ca2+-binding, stress-related protein released in vitro by both malignant and normal cells derived from all primordial germ layers [11].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Arhgap17

  • SPARC (Secreted Protein, Acidic, Rich in Cysteine) was detected by immunohistochemistry in the sensorial layer of the bilayered embryonic epidermis of Xenopus laevis during neurulation, when a subset of the sensorial cells are selected to differentiate into ciliated cell precursors [12].
