Abstract:
... CREB (cAMP response element-binding protein)-regulated transcription coactivator (CRTC2) has been reported to act as a coactivator of CREB during gluconeogenesis. The role of CRTC2 in osteoblastic differentiation has not yet been elucidated. The aim of this study is to identify the mechanism of CRTC2 in osteoblast differentiation.The mRNA expression was determined by RT-PCR and qPCR. Protein level ...

Abstract:
... γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) mediates its physiological effects through the GABAA and GABAB receptors. In this study the putative expression of GABAAR and GABABR subunits in human myometrium tissue was investigated.The expression levels of the 19 GABAAR subunits (α₁–α₆, β₁–β₃, γ₁–γ₃, δ, ε, π, θ, ρ₁–ρ₃) and the three GABABR subunits (GABAB₁ₐ, GABAB₁b, GABAB₂) were characterized by RT-qPCR analysis on ...
