- 评估携带ACTA2 R118Q变种的个体的风险和最佳管理策略.
主要方法:
- 对9名有大动脉事件或R118Q突变史的家庭成员进行了基因测试.
- 建立了一个家族树,以评估大动脉事件 (切割或手术) 的变异分离和透.
- 收集和分析了临床数据,包括大动脉事件发病的年龄.
主要成果:
- 在9名家庭成员中,有7人携带ACTA2 R118Q突变或经历过大动脉事件.

5.8K
Binding sites linkages can regulate a protein's function. For example, enzyme activity is often regulated through a feedback mechanism where the end product of the biochemical process serves as an inhibitor.
Aspartate transcarbamoylase (ATCase) is a cytosolic enzyme that catalyzes the condensation of L-aspartate and carbamoyl phosphate to N-carbamoyl-L-aspartate. This reaction is the first step in pyrimidine biosynthesis. UTP and CTP, the end products of the pyrimidine synthesis...

5.3K
Actin is a family of globular proteins that are highly abundant in eukaryotic cells. It makes up approximately 1-5% of total cell protein concentration. Actin monomers polymerize to form a complex network of polarized filaments, the actin cytoskeleton, that plays a crucial role in many cellular processes, including cell motility, division, endocytosis, and metastasis of cancer cells.
Actin cytoskeleton dynamics can produce pushing, pulling, and resistance forces that help the cell to migrate....
