  1. 1. The roles of heparan sulfate in autophagy

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för medicinsk biokemi och mikrobiologi

    Author : Asifa Khan; [2022]
    Keywords : Heparan sulfate; LC3-II; p62; Autophagy;

    Abstract : Background: Autophagy is a lysosomal degradation process to eliminate damaged components from the cells. It also provides a survival mechanism in stressed conditions and limits growth processes. Heparan sulfate (HS) is a polysaccharide attached to different proteoglycans. READ MORE

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Biomedical Sciences and Veterinary Public Health

    Author : Emelie Nygren; [2013]
    Keywords : katt; paracetamol; permetrin; acetylsalicylsyra; läkemedelsförgiftning;

    Abstract : Katter får toxiska effekter av vissa läkemedel vid avsevärt lägre doser än andra djur. Syftet med denna litteraturstudie är att ta reda på vad det beror på. Paracetamol, acetylsalicylsyra och permetrin är tre substanser som ger är eller ger upphov till enkla plana fenoler, och som är kända för att orsaka problem hos katt. READ MORE

  4. 3. Mutagenesis of the sugar donor site of the Arabidopsis thaliana glycosyltransferase UGT72B1

    University essay from Biokemi

    Author : Emma Palmqvist; [2010]
    Keywords : UGT72B1 UGT2B4 glycosyltransferase substrate specificity UDP-glucose UDP-glucuronic acid activity SOE PCR quik change protein expression protein purification HPLC;

    Abstract : The Arabidopsis thaliana glycosyltransferase UGT72B1 is one of many enzymes which catalyze the reaction oflinking a glucose moiety from UDP-glucose to an acceptor molecule, in this case a chloroaniline or a chlorophenol. This is part of a detoxification system of the plant cell, similar to that in humans where a glucuronosyltransferases are enabling drug metabolism. READ MORE

  5. 4. CHARACTERISATION OF HEPARAN SULPHATE (HS) FROM MOLE RAT LIVER

    University essay from Institutionen för medicinsk biokemi och mikrobiologi

    Author : Caitríona Kelly; [2005]
    Keywords : heparan sulphate; mole rat; liver;

    Abstract : This thesis is focused on the heparan sulphate (HS) structure from blind mole rat liver. HS is a glycosaminoglycan that is produced as a proteoglycan, in which linear polysaccharide chains are attached covalently to a protein core. Proteoglycans are widespread molecules in the body and have many important physiological functions. READ MORE
