Disease relevance of Pancreas

 

Psychiatry related information on Pancreas

 

High impact information on Pancreas

  • CGRP is a 37-amino acid neuropeptide, primarily released from sensory nerves, whilst AM is produced by stimulated vascular cells, and amylin is secreted from the pancreas [11].
  • The coupling may be widespread (e.g., liver) or confined to one acinus (e.g., salivary gland and pancreas) [12].
  • The PKHD1 transcript, approximately 16 kb long, is expressed in adult and fetal kidney, liver and pancreas and is predicted to encode a large novel protein, fibrocystin, with multiple copies of a domain shared with plexins and transcription factors [13].
  • Reversal of lesions of diabetic nephropathy after pancreas transplantation [14].
  • HD mRNA was also expressed in colon, liver, pancreas and testes [15].
  • Loss of Cdk4 expression in rodents causes insulin-deficient diabetes and Cdk4 activation results in beta-islet cell hyperplasia [16].

Associations of Pancreas with chemical compounds

  • Effects of pancreas transplantation on postprandial glucose metabolism [31].
  • Total parenteral nutrition and the pancreas [32].
  • Positive control of cyclic AMP on mesenchymal factor controlled DNA synthesis in embryonic pancreas [33].
  • Although primary structural homology between bacterial serine proteases and those from the mammalian pancreas is slight, two-thirds of the residues in the bacterial enzyme SGPB as seen at 2.8-A resolution, adopt a similar polypeptide chain conformation to that of the chymotrypsin family [34].
  • We recently performed a similar search in porcine pancreas and found a high concentration of a peptide having a glycine amide at its C-terminus [35].
 

Gene context of Pancreas

  • Of significance, CCK-A receptors were expressed selectively in all pancreatic adenocarcinomas, but not in any normal pancreas specimens [5].
  • Expression of CCK-B receptors was detected in all tissues arising from pancreas and in most extrapancreatic tissues and tumors [5].
  • In the pancreas, only glutathione peroxidase activity was affected, and it was reduced in both the BHA and BHT treatment groups [36].
  • Human kidney, lung, and pancreas showed immunohistochemical staining with an antibody to adrenal PNMT [37].
  • Confocal microscopic data indicated that CDC42 is localized only in islet endocrine cells but not in acinar cells of the pancreas [38].
