Disease relevance of Catfishes

 

Psychiatry related information on Catfishes

  • Fresh catfish (Clarias gariepinus) were subjected to different concentrations of sodium benzoate or potasium sorbate and smoked traditionally before evaluation for microbiological, chemical and organoleptic characteristics during ambient tropical storage [6].
 

High impact information on Catfishes

  • Following absorption of their yolk sacs, the catfish fry feed upon the fry of the host while still in its mouth [7].
  • Cyclic GMP-sensitive conductance in outer segment membrane of catfish cones [8].
  • To determine the subunit stoichiometry of CNG ion channels, we have coexpressed the 30 pS conductance bovine retinal channel (RET) with an 85 pS conductance chimeric retinal channel containing the catfish olfactory channel P region (RO133) [9].
  • L-glutamate suppresses HVA calcium current in catfish horizontal cells by raising intracellular proton concentration [10].
  • Protonation of histidine groups inhibits gating of the quisqualate/kainate channel protein in isolated catfish cone horizontal cells [11].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of Catfishes

 

Biological context of Catfishes

  • Amino acid sequence of catfish pancreatic somatostatin I [17].
  • E-box binding transcription factors of the class I basic helix-loop-helix family were cloned from a catfish B cell cDNA library in this study, and homologs of TF12/HEB were identified as the most highly represented E-proteins [18].
  • In transient expression assays, catfish Oct2 beta showed a marked preference for the octamer variant, ATGtAAAT, which occurs twice in the catfish enhancer [19].
  • The results suggest that the two somatostatin genes present in both anglerfish and catfish were the result of a gene duplication event in a common ancestor of anglerfish and catfish [20].
  • All receptors able to bind agonist were also able to activate phospholipase C. The catfish GnRH-R was phosphorylated after agonist-occupation and use of truncated mutants showed this phosphorylation to be within the carboxyl-terminal tail [21].
 

Anatomical context of Catfishes

 

Associations of Catfishes with chemical compounds

  • gamma-Aminobutyric acid: a neurotransmitter candidate for cone horizontal cells of the catfish retina [27].
  • Here, we have examined the cellular localization of NOS in the retinas of salamander, goldfish, and catfish using both an affinity-purified antiserum to brain NOS and NADPH diaphorase (NADPHd) histochemistry [28].
  • A comparison of catfish and human J chain amino acid analyses showed the former to have a higher content of serine, glycine, and phenylalanine and a lower content of aspartic acid, isoleucine, and arginine [29].
  • The high similarity defined with other vertebrate V regions readily allowed the catfish sequence to be divided into FR and CDR regions [30].
  • The bimodal gill(water)/gut(air)-breathing Amazonian catfish Hoplosternum littorale that frequents hypoxic habitats uses "mammalian" 2,3-diphosphoglycerate (DPG) in addition to "piscine" ATP and GTP as erythrocytic O(2) affinity modulators [31].
