Genetic parameters and response to selection for body weight in turbot (Scophthalmus maximus, Linnaeus)
Genetic parameters and response to selection were estimated for harvest body weight in turbot. The data consisted of 10 952 individuals of 508 full-sib families from three generations (G0, G1, and G2). The her...

The TIR/BB-loop mimetic AS-1 prevents cardiac hypertrophy by inhibiting IL-1R-mediated MyD88-dependent signaling
Activation of NF-κB contributes to cardiac hypertrophy and the interleukin-1 receptor (IL-1R)-mediated MyD88-dependent signaling pathway predominately activates NF-κB. Recent studies have shown that the TIR/BB...

A stage-specific protein factor binding to a CACCC motif in both human β-globin gene promoter and 5'-HS2 region
The DNaseI hypersensitive site 2 (HS2) of human β- globin locus control region (LCR) is required for the high level expression of human β-globin genes. In the present study, a stage-specific protein factor (LPF-β

A DNA-binding protein factor in K562 nuclear extract interacts with positive control region (PCR) in the 5′-flanking sequence of human β-globin gene
It has been known that there are at least three regulatory regions (NCR1, NCR2 and PCR) in the 5′-flanking sequence (from −610 bp to +1 bp) of human β-globin gene and that the function of PCR is unique to the hum...
