Molecular characterization of a peripheral receptor for cannabinoids

TL;DR: The cloning of a receptor for cannabinoids is reported that is not expressed in the brain but rather in macrophages in the marginal zone of spleen, which helps clarify the non-psychoactive effects of cannabinoids.
Journal ArticleDOI

A C-terminal signal prevents secretion of luminal ER proteins

TL;DR: It is proposed that the KDEL sequence marks proteins that are to be retained in the ER and discuss possible retention mechanisms.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lipid Rafts: Elusive or Illusive?

TL;DR: There has been considerable recent interest in the possibility that the plasma membrane contains lipid "rafts," microdomains enriched in cholesterol and sphingolipids, and it seems that a definitive proof of raft existence has yet to be obtained.
Journal ArticleDOI

An Hsp70-like protein in the ER: identity with the 78 kd glucose-regulated protein and immunoglobulin heavy chain binding protein.

TL;DR: A cDNA clone is characterized that encodes a protein related to the 70 kd heat shock protein, but is expressed in normal rat liver, and it is identical with two previously described proteins: GRP78, whose synthesis is induced by glucose starvation, and BiP, which is found bound to immunoglobulin heavy chains in pre-B cells.
