Disease relevance of VAMP8

 

Psychiatry related information on VAMP8

  • We recorded with surface EMG all movements of the muscles said to be involved in PLMs (extensor digitorum brevis, EDB; tibialis anterior, TA; biceps femoris, BF; tensor fasciae latae; TFL) as well as the quadriceps (Q) and soleus (S) muscles in 12 patients with restless legs syndrome combined with PLMD [6].
 

High impact information on VAMP8

 

Chemical compound and disease context of VAMP8

  • Acute toxicity of EDB and aldicarb to young of two estuarine fish species [10].
  • We present immunolocalization data on tenascin (Ten), and extradomains A and B (EDA-, EDB-) and oncofetal (Onc-) isoforms of cellular fibronectin (cFn), and alpha 1-6 and alpha v and beta 1-4 integrin subunits on cryosections of normal human breast, the spectrum of fibrocystic disease (FCD), and benign and malignant breast neoplasms [11].

Anatomical context of VAMP8

 

Associations of VAMP8 with chemical compounds

  • Endobrevin overexpression increased the amount of GABA released from MIN6 cells; in contrast, it decreased the glucose-stimulated insulin release from rat islets, MIN6 and INS1-D cells to approximately 50% of the control levels [3].
  • Glutathione-dependent DNA damage by EDB was also demonstrated in human hepatocyte preparations [17].
  • The sensor elements have been prepared by coating the sensor surface with tumor marker EDB-fibronectin by means of SAM technique and carbodiimide chemistry [18].
  • Vinyl bromide, which is a suspected carcinogen, is a minor product in lab studies, but so far there are no reports linking its presence with EDB in the field.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)[19]
  • Specific incidents of concern related to pesticides in food including EDB in grain and grain products, aldicarb in watermelon, demeton-methyl in wine, DDT in fish, S,S,S-tributylphosphorotrithioate in chili peppers, and daminozide in apples and processed apple products are described [20].
 

Other interactions of VAMP8

 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of VAMP8

  • The subcellular localization of GFP-endobrevin was visualized by confocal laser microscopy [3].
  • Western blots of the PTF-CM identified FN containing the EDA but not the EDB domain [22].
  • EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: Frozen tissue samples from biopsies of acute (n = 14) and chronic (n = 12) human renal allograft rejections were studied to compare distribution of tenascin, the extradomains A and B (EDA, EDB), and oncofetal (Onc) isoforms of cellular fibronectin (cFn) [23].
  • EDB has been shown to be mutagenic in numerous bacterial assays, in fungi, in plants, in insects, and in mammalian cell culture [24].
  • Samples are mixed with water and sparged with nitrogen for 1 h with stirring in a water bath at 100 degrees C. The EDB collected on the adsorbent Tenax TA is eluted with hexane and determined by gas chromatography (GC) with electron capture (EC) and confirmed with Hall electrolytic conductivity (HECD) detection using a second GC column [25].
