Disease relevance of Strepsirhini

 

High impact information on Strepsirhini

  • ZNF91 family members were detected in all species of great apes, gibbons, Old World monkeys, and New World monkeys examined but were not found in prosimians or rodents [2].
  • The involucrin gene of the tarsioids alone contains repeats at both sites, for it derived repeats at site P from a common ancestor of tarsioids and prosimians and a repeat at site M from a later common ancestor of tarsioids and anthropoids [3].
  • It synthesizes an abundance of Gal(alpha 1-3)Gal(beta 1-4)GlcNAc-R (alpha-galactosyl) epitopes within the Golgi apparatus of cells of nonprimate mammals, prosimians, and New World monkeys (platyrrhines) [4].
  • A C-->G substitution in this region converted the mouse sequence CCA GCA to GCA GCA in prosimians, which presumably predisposed this locus to GCA expansion in anthropoids and provides a model for other triplet expansions [5].
  • Taken together, the data indicate that each of the assemblages of DRB genes in prosimians, platyrrhines, and catarrhines is derived from a separate ancestral gene [6].

Associations of Strepsirhini with chemical compounds

  • New World monkeys are antigenically deficient in all components (measured) except C5, C6, and properdin factor B. Prosimians are antigenically deficient in all components [12].
  • Moreover, tooth-combed prosimians differ from most haplorhines, early Tertiary adapiforms, and arboreal nonprimate eutherians in having a relatively short pisiform body, which gives the flexor carpi ulnaris less power to flex the wrist from extended (= dorsiflexed) positions [13].
  • In this study we used fecal steroid analysis to examine androgen-behavior interactions associated with reproduction in free-ranging male Propithecus verreauxi [14].
  • The effects of age on glutathione synthesis enzymes in lenses of Old World simians and prosimians [15].
  • The concentrations of total calcium, 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25-(OH)D] and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1,25-(OH)2D3] were measured in serum obtained from prosimians, the brown lemurs [16].
