Research progress on NM23A (expressed in non-metastatic cells) protein / 中国药理学通报

NM23A protein is a kind of multifunctional protein distributed widely in the nature and it exists in almost all the or-ganism and cells. Apart from owning the nucleoside diphosphate kinase activity, NM23A also participates in the physiological process of signal transduction, gene regulation, cell growth and development and so on. NM23A plays important roles in the pa-thology process of the tumor development and metastasis and cen-tral nerve system disease.

Progress of the phosphatidylethanolamine binding protein / 中国药理学通报

Proteins of the phosphatidylethanolamine binding protein(PEBP) family are highly conserved throughout nature and have multiple biological functions.These small,cytosolic proteins have a typical large central sheet and a putative ligand-binding site which shares an affinity for a variety of ligands such as phospholipids,opioids,nucleotides,hydrophobic odorant molecules.PEBP plays a pivotal modulatory role in Raf-1/MEK/ERK、I?B/NF-?B、GPCR signaling cascades.As the precursor of the hippocampal cholinergic neurostimulating peptide(HCNP),PEBP may play an important role in the septal cholinergic development of the hippocampal.In addition,PEBP has the potential to contribute to neural protection,biogenesis and refinement of the membrane,Alzheimers disease(AD),opioid dependence,diabetic nephropathy,cancer and other physiological or pathophysiological processes.
