STUDY OF THE RETROTRANSPOSON-DERIVED HUMAN PEG10 PROTEASE

Study of the Retrotransposon-Derived Human PEG10 Protease

Paternally expressed gene 10 (PEG10) is a human retrotransposon-derived imprinted gene.Previous works have demonstrated that a mutation in the coding sequence of this gene is lethal with regard to embryological age due to defects of placental development.In addition, PEG10 is implicated in several malignancies, such as pancreatic cancer and hepatoc

Efficacy of tricaine methanesulfonate (MS-222) as an anesthetic agent for blocking sensory-motor responses in Xenopus laevis tadpoles.

Anesthetics are drugs that reversibly relieve pain, decrease body movements and suppress neuronal activity.Most drugs only cover one of these effects; for instance, analgesics relieve pain but fail to block primary fiber responses to noxious stimuli.Alternately, paralytic drugs block synaptic transmission at neuromuscular junctions, thereby effecti
