Cloning and expression of full-length cDNA encoding human vitamin D receptor.

TL;DR: Sequence comparisons demonstrate that the vitamin D receptor belongs to the steroid-receptor gene family and is closest in size and sequence to another member of this family, the thyroid hormone receptor.
Journal ArticleDOI

Review of progress in sterol oxidations: 1987–1995

TL;DR: Material dealing with the chemistry, biochemistry, and biological activities of oxysterols is reviewed for the period 1987-1995 and particular attention is paid to the presence of oxystersols in tissues and foods and to their physiological relevance.
Journal ArticleDOI

Oestrogen Effects on Osteoblasts and Osteoclasts

TL;DR: An updated model for the molecular mechanisms involved in oestrogens action, the mechanism of anti-oestrogen action, and recent advances in knowledge of oestrogen effects on osteoblasts, osteoclasts, and the coupling of bone resorption and bone formation is presented.
Book ChapterDOI

Regulation of pathways of mRNA destabilization and stabilization.

TL;DR: This work focuses on the pathway for regulated mRNA degradation mediated by mRNA-binding proteins and endonucleases that cleave within the body of mRNAs and focuses on a potential example of this type of control.
Book ChapterDOI

Hormone-dependent phosphorylation of the avian progesterone receptor

TL;DR: All of the phosphorylation sites were localized to a specific region of the progesterone receptor that does not include either the DNA or steroid binding domains, indicating similar processing in vivo.

Calcium-binding proteins and calcium function

TL;DR: By reading, you can know the knowledge and things more, not only about what you get from people to people, and book will be more trusted.
Book ChapterDOI

Calcium-Binding Proteins

TL;DR: These two characteristics suggest that the carp-albumin protein may be analogous to the troponin-A protein of mammalian and avian muscle and may be involved, therefore, in mediation of the effect of calcium in muscle contraction.
