The American Psychiatric Nurses Association (APNA) is a professional association of psychiatric-mental health nurses. Founded in 1986, it provides continuing education and a range of professional services to a membership of more than 9000 nurses. [1] It publishes position papers on mental health issues and the care of persons with psychiatric ...
There are five known mammalian neuropeptide Y receptors designated Y 1 through Y 5. [9] Four neuropeptide Y receptors each encoded by a different gene have been identified in humans, all of which may represent therapeutic targets for obesity and other disorders. [10] [11] [12] Y 1 - NPY1R; Y 2 - NPY2R; Y 4 - PPYR1; Y 5 - NPY5R
The Association of Physicians of Pakistani Descent of North America (APPNA) is an American nonprofit organization [2] headquartered in Westmont, Illinois, United States. It is one of the largest medical associations in the United States. [1] APPNA is the largest medical organization of expatriate Pakistanis. [3]
The klotho protein is a novel β-glucuronidase (EC number 3.2.1.31) capable of hydrolyzing steroid β-glucuronides. Genetic variants in KLOTHO have been associated with human aging, [ 22 ] and klotho protein has been shown to be a circulating factor detectable in serum that declines with age.
1-Aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) is a disubstituted cyclic α-amino acid in which a cyclopropane ring is fused to the C α atom of the amino acid. It is a white solid. Many cyclopropane-substituted amino acids are known, but this one occurs naturally. [2] [verification needed] Like glycine, but unlike most α-amino acids, ACC is not ...
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate, abbreviated NADP [1] [2] or, in older notation, TPN (triphosphopyridine nucleotide), is a cofactor used in anabolic reactions, such as the Calvin cycle and lipid and nucleic acid syntheses, which require NADPH as a reducing agent ('hydrogen source').
L-Tyrosine or tyrosine (symbol Tyr or Y) [2] or 4-hydroxyphenylalanine is one of the 20 standard amino acids that are used by cells to synthesize proteins. It is a conditionally essential amino acid with a polar side group .
All four complement receptors can bind to fragments of complement component 3 or complement component 4 coated on pathogen surface, but the receptors trigger different downstream activities. [1] Complement receptor (CR) 1, 3, and 4 function as opsonins which stimulate phagocytosis , whereas CR2 is expressed only on B cells as a co-receptor .
