Liver receptor homolog-1 (NR5A2) is a nuclear receptor originally identified in the liver and mostly known for its regulatory role in cholesterol and bile acid homeostasis. More recently, liver receptor homolog-1 has emerged as a key regulator of intestina ...
For millennia, nature was the only source of medicine for mankind. Even today natural products represent a large proportion of the drugs in use. In some areas, like cancer or infectious diseases, about 50 % of the compounds used are of natural origin. Cyan ...
A century after the identification of a coenzymatic activity for NAD(+), NAD(+) metabolism has come into the spotlight again due to the potential therapeutic relevance of a set of enzymes whose activity is tightly regulated by the balance between the oxidi ...
Mammalian circadian oscillators are considered to rely on transcription/translation feedback loops in clock gene expression. The major and essential loop involves the autorepression of cryptochrome (Cry1, Cry2) and period (Per1, Per2) genes. The rhythm-gen ...
The present invention is related to new molecules capable of interacting with target of rapamycin (TOR) transcriptional complex. In particular, the present invention provides novel nucleic acid molecules, processes for production thereof, kits containing t ...
RNA plays key roles in essential biological processes, such as protein synthesis, transcriptional regulation, splicing and retroviral replication. The structural diversity of RNA molecules and the lack of known RNA repair mechanisms make these biopolymers ...
