Ca2+ is an essential ion in all organisms, where it plays a crucial role in processes ranging
from the formation and maintenance of the skeleton to the temporal and spatial regulation of …

The S100 family of calcium binding proteins contains approximately 16 members each of
which exhibits a unique pattern of tissue/cell type specific expression. Although the …

The human genome contains large regions that are highly structured. Sequence-related
members of multigene families are often found in a clustered organization. Here we describe …

A rabbit polyclonal antibody raised against myeloid-related protein 8 (MRP-8), a protein of
the S100 family, recognized another S100 protein (MRP-14) as well as a protein of 6.5 kDa …

The mammalian retina contains at least two guanylyl cyclases (GC1 and GC2) and two
guanylyl cyclase-activating proteins (GCAP1 and GCAP2). Here we present evidence of the …

Calcium absorption by the intestine is necessary for bone mineralization. Much has been
learned about this process and the role of vitamin D metabolites in gene transcription from …

Patients with coeliac disease may present with calcium malabsorption but it is unclear
whether this results in longterm impairment of bone mineralisation. Dual energy x ray …

Calcium absorption in intestine and kidney involves transport through the apical membrane,
cytoplasm, and basolateral membrane of the epithelial cells. Apical membrane calcium …

We report the cloning and characterization of a murine epidermal differentiation gene,
repetin (Rptn), exhibiting striking similarity to the genes of the intermediate filament …

Calcium transport in the apical-to-basolateral (A-to-B) or B-to-A direction was examined in
cells treated with 10 nM 1, 25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1, 25 (OH) 2D3, calcitriol] for up to 72 h …
