Abstract:
We report a novel variant found in a female from Guilin municipality in the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region of the People's Republic of China. This variant can be readily detected by both cation exchange high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and capillary electrophoresis (CE). Sanger sequencing revealed a novel mutation on the β-globin gene [β65(E9)Lys→Glu (AAG>GAG); HBB: c.196A>G]. We named this novel hemoglobin (Hb) variant Hb Guangxi for the place of origin of the proband.

TGF - β Signaling Pathway
Adrenergic Receptors: β Subtype
Isoprenaline > Adrenaline > Noradrenaline
Neurotransmitter binding to these receptors causes activation of adenylyl cyclase resulting in increased concentrations of cAMP and modulation of calcium ion channels within the cell. They are further classified into β1, β2, and β3 subtypes.

Antianginal Drugs: Nitrates and β-Blockers
Organic nitrates, such as nitroglycerin, play a pivotal role. Once metabolized, they liberate nitric oxide, a molecular marvel. Nitric oxide triggers guanylyl cyclase and augments cGMP production. This biochemical cascade orchestrates the relaxation of vascular smooth muscles, ushering in vasodilation and enhancing coronary blood flow....
