Sentences with phrase «junction protein between»

Not exact matches

According to Dr. Bleich and his co-investigators, «Epithelial barrier function is predominantly dependent on tight junction proteins, which regulate transport into and between cells.

Through further testing, they figured out that when Notch1 is activated and its intracellular domain is released, its TMD assembles a complex in the membrane with the proteins VE - cadherin, Rac1, LAR, and Trio, which collectively assemble and maintain the adherens junctions between cells and distribute actin fibers against the cell membrane to support those junctions.

By interacting with the actin cytoskeleton, underneath the cell outer membrane, and other structural proteins of the tight junctions, Alix ensures the formation of the actomyosin - tight junction complex at a specific position between adjacent cells.

In what reviewers described as a «technological tour de force,» John R. Cirrito and David M. Holtzman of the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis traced production of a destructive Alzheimer's protein, known as amyloid - beta (right), to the junctions between neurons called synapses.

The protein encoded by Shank3 is found in synapses — the junctions between neurons that allow them to communicate with each other.

Correct tight junctions between cells labeled in yellow due to the presence of the protein PARD3.

Using colorfully labeled antibodies to light up the new protein under their microscopes, they found that it was present where Listeria entered cells and also present at adherens junctions between epithelial cells.

In fact, it metabolizes into prostaglandin E2 (PGE2)-- a small signaling protein that helps regulate junctions between cells.

Increased intestinal permeability When the intestinal lining is damaged, the tight junctions between the intestinal wall and the bloodstream can no longer prevent incompletely digested proteins, bacteria or bacterial fragments from leaking out into the bloodstream.

In the small intestine, gluten triggers the release of zonulin, a protein that regulates the tight junctions between epithelial cells and therefore intestinal, but also blood - brain barrier function.

Probiotics may help to prevent this by closing the «tight junctions,» the spaces between cells in the small intestines so that these proteins can't escape and cause the immune system to overreact.
