Transferrin receptor (TfR) and ferritin, key proteins of cellular iron metabolism, are coordinately and divergently controlled by cytoplasmic proteins (iron regulatory proteins, IRP-1 and IRP-2) that bind to conserved mRNA motifs called iron-responsive elements (IRE). IRP, in response to specific st

After partial hepatectomy in the rat, there is substantial lipid accumulation in the liver. No information is available on the possible role of receptor-mediated endocytosis in this process. Since the low density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor is stimulated as a part of an early growth response in cell
After injury, motor neurons exhibit a number of metabolic and protein changes that are assumed to be part of an inherent neuronal regeneration program, which, when activated, eventually leads to functional restitution. The mechanisms underlying this regeneration are unclear, but it may be expected t
To clarify the role of transforming growth factor-b (TGF-b) and its receptors in hepatocyte growth, we studied the expression of TGF-b1 and its receptors and the sensitivity to growth inhibition by TGF-b1 protein in rat hepatocytes derived from resting and regenerating livers. In hepatocytes derived
