Anti-calcyclin binding protein (CacyBP) monoclonal antibodies (MAb) were produced using an in vitro immunization method. BALB/c mouse splenocytes were immunized with purified 6 x His-CacyBP fusion protein and fused with myeloma cells using polyethylene glycol (PEG) 4000. By selection using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), three anti-CacyBP MAbs were obtained. The MAb BD1, whose isotype was IgG1, interacted with the fusion protein. Western blot and immunofluorescence microscopy showed that the MAb BD1 against CacyBP could recognize CacyBP protein derived from human gastric cancer cell lines in both native and denatured forms. This MAb would act as a useful tool for the detection of CacyBP protein in future studies.

Anaphase Promoting Complex00:50

Anaphase Promoting Complex

The stepwise destruction of specific proteins is necessary for the progression and completion of the cell cycle. Such proteins are ubiquitinated by ubiquitin ligases and then subsequently destroyed by the proteasome. The SCF (Skp1/Cullin/F-box) and the anaphase-promoting complex (APC) are two important ubiquitin ligases involved in cell cycle progression. While SCF is active throughout the cell cycle, APC gets activated during metaphase to anaphase transition. Cdc20 or Cdh1 binds to APC and...
Calmodulin-dependent Signaling01:16

Calmodulin-dependent Signaling

Calmodulin (CaM) is a calcium-binding protein in eukaryotes that controls various calcium-regulated cellular processes. It has four calcium-binding sites that bind calcium to form the calcium-calmodulin ( Ca2+-CaM) complex. GPCR stimulation increases the calcium levels in the cells that bind to CaM and induces a conformational change.
The Ca2+-CaM complex does not have enzymatic activity by itself. Instead, the complex binds downstream target proteins, including membrane proteins or enzymes,...

Synthesis and Functions of Calcitonin

Calcitonin, a vital polypeptide hormone, regulates calcium levels within body fluids. It is released by the parafollicular cells, also known as C cells, situated in the follicular epithelium of the thyroid gland. Calcitonin responds to fluctuations in blood calcium levels and the influence of gastrointestinal hormones like gastrin and cholecystokinin.
The exact mechanisms by which calcitonin operates in calcium homeostasis remain elusive, but its significance is evident in several vital...
