The extraordinary ligand binding properties of human serum albumin

Mauro Fasano, Stephen Curry, Enzo Terreno et al. · 1 Dec 2005

Human serum albumin (HSA), the most prominent protein in plasma, binds different classes of ligands at multiple sites. HSA provides a depot for many compounds, affects pharmacokinetics of many drugs, holds some ligands in a strained orientation providing their metabolic modification, renders potential toxins harmless transporting them to disposal sites, accounts for most of the…

The Kennedy pathway—<i>De novo</i> synthesis of phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylcholine

Federica Gibellini, Terry Smith · 6 May 2010

The glycerophospholipids phosphatidylcholine (PC) and phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) account for greater than 50% of the total phospholipid species in eukaryotic membranes and thus play major roles in the structure and function of those membranes. In most eukaryotic cells, PC and PE are synthesized by an aminoalcoholphosphotransferase reaction, which uses sn-1,2-diradylglycerol and either CDP-choline or CDP-ethanolamine, respectively.…

Mammalian polyamine metabolism and function

Anthony E. Pegg · 14 Jul 2009

Polyamines are ubiquitous small basic molecules that play multiple essential roles in mammalian physiology. Their cellular content is highly regulated and there is convincing evidence that altered metabolism is involvement in many disease states. Drugs altering polyamine levels may therefore have a variety of important targets. This review will summarize the current state of understanding…

Oxidative Stress, Antioxidant Defenses, and Damage Removal, Repair, and Replacement Systems

Kelvin J.A. Davies · 1 Oct 2000

Oxidative stress is an unavoidable consequence of life in an oxygen-rich atmosphere. Oxygen radicals and other activated oxygen species are generated as by-products of aerobic metabolism and exposure to various natural and synthetic toxicants. The "Oxygen Paradox" is that oxygen is dangerous to the very life-forms for which it has become an essential component of…

The monocarboxylate transporter family—Role and regulation

Andrew P. Halestrap, Marieangela C. Wilson · 9 Dec 2011

Monocarboxylate transporter (MCT) isoforms 1-4 catalyze the proton-linked transport of monocarboxylates such as L-lactate across the plasma membrane, whereas MCT8 and MCT10 are thyroid hormone and aromatic amino acid transporters, respectively. The importance of MCTs is becoming increasingly evident as their extensive physiological and pathological roles are revealed. MCTs 1-4 play essential metabolic roles in…
