Finally, we demonstrated the important roles and mechanisms of the RAB17 gene in the cell cycle, proliferation, and metastasis of endometrial cancer. Using repeated database analysis and cell-level assays, we propose RAB17 as a potential target gene for endometrial cancer for further study.Molecular recognition displayed by naturally occurring…[Read more]

We report the discovery and functional characterization of αM-Conotoxin MIIIJ, a peptide from the venom of the fish-hunting cone snail Conus magus. Injections of αM-MIIIJ induced paralysis in goldfish (Carassius auratus) but not mice. Intracellular recording from skeletal muscles of fish (C. auratus) and frog (Xenopus laevis) revealed that α…[Read more]
