Journal ArticleDOI
Activin-binding protein from rat ovary is follistatin
TL;DR: A binding protein for activin was purified from rat ovary and was identical to follistatin, a specific inhibitor of FSH release, likely that the binding protein participates in the diverse regulatory actions of activin.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, a frontal affinity chromatography (FAC) was used to quantitatively analyze the interactions at 20 °C between 13 galectins including 16 CRDs originating from mammals, chick, nematode, sponge, and mushroom, with 41 pyridylaminated (PA) oligosaccharides.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification of α-Fodrin as a Candidate Autoantigen in Primary Sjögren's Syndrome
Norio Haneji,Takanori Nakamura,Koji Takio,Kumiko Yanagi,Hiroyuki Higashiyama,Ichiro Saito,Sumihare Noji,Hiromu Sugino,Yoshio Hayashi +8 more
TL;DR: The immune response to 120-kilodalton alpha-fodrin could be important in the initial development of primary SS, and sera from patients with SS reacted positively with purified antigen and recombinant human alpha- fodrin protein.
Journal ArticleDOI
Galectin-9 Induces Apoptosis Through the Calcium-Calpain-Caspase-1 Pathway
Yumiko Kashio,Kazuhiro Nakamura,Mohammad J. Abedin,Masako Seki,Nozomu Nishi,Naoko Yoshida,Takanori Nakamura,Mitsuomi Hirashima +7 more
TL;DR: Gal-9 induces apoptosis via the Ca2+-calpain-caspase-1 pathway, and that Gal-9 plays a role in immunomodulation of T cell-mediated immune responses is suggested.
Journal ArticleDOI
Activin-binding protein is present in pituitary.
TL;DR: Stoichiometric inhibition as shown by gel filtration analysis indicates that activin-binding protein binds activin to form an inactive equimolar complex having neither stimulatory nor inhibitory activity for FSH secretion by the pituitary.
