Covalently Linked Protein Regulators02:04

Covalently Linked Protein Regulators

9.6K
Proteins can undergo many types of post-translational modifications, often in response to changes in their environment. These modifications play an important role in the function and stability of these proteins. Covalently linked molecules include functional groups, such as methyl, acetyl, and phosphate groups, and also small proteins, such as ubiquitin. There are around 200 different types of covalent regulators that have been identified.
These groups modify specific amino acids in a protein....

X-linked Traits01:19

X-linked Traits

58.6K
In most mammalian species, females have two X sex chromosomes and males have an X and Y. As a result, mutations on the X chromosome in females may be masked by the presence of a normal allele on the second X. In contrast, a mutation on the X chromosome in males more often causes observable biological defects, as there is no normal X to compensate. Trait variations arising from mutations on the X chromosome are called “X-linked”.

Sex-linked Disorders01:43

Sex-linked Disorders

108.7K
Like autosomes, sex chromosomes contain a variety of genes necessary for normal body function. When a mutation in one of these genes results in biological deficits, the disorder is considered sex-linked.

Enzyme-linked Receptors01:00

Enzyme-linked Receptors

86.6K
Enzyme-linked receptors are proteins that act as both receptor and enzyme, activating multiple intracellular signals. This is a large group of receptors that include the receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) family. Many growth factors and hormones bind to and activate the RTKs.
Neurotrophin (NT) receptors are a family of RTKs, including trkA, trkB, and trkC (tropomyosin-related kinase) receptors. TrkA is specific for nerve growth factor (NGF), neurotrophin-6, and neurotrophin-7. TrkB binds...

Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay01:33

Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay

17.6K
In 1971, Peter Perlman and Eva Engvall developed an Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA or EIA). ELISA differs from western blot in that the assays are conducted in microtiter plates or in vivo rather than on an absorbent membrane.
There are many different types of ELISAs, but they all involve an antibody molecule whose constant region binds an enzyme, leaving the variable region free to bind its specific antigen.  Enzyme-substrate reaction allows the antigen to be visualized or...

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Genetics
  • Retinal Diseases

Background:

  • X-linked retinitis pigmentosa (XLRP) is a severe inherited retinal dystrophy.
  • XLRP accounts for a notable percentage of all retinitis pigmentosa (RP) cases.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To summarize the prevalence and impact of XLRP.
  • To highlight XLRP as a significant subtype of RP.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of existing epidemiological data on RP.
  • Analysis of prevalence statistics for XLRP in different regions.

Main Results:

  • XLRP constitutes 6-20% of all retinitis pigmentosa cases.
  • Specific regional prevalence includes 10% in the United States and 25% in England.

Conclusions:

  • XLRP is a major genetic cause of RP.
  • Understanding XLRP prevalence is crucial for research and clinical management.
