Amoeba proteus displays a walking form of locomotion.

Abstract:

:This report deals with observations on the directional locomotion of amoeba before and after fixation and scanning electron microscopy. The study was aimed at visualization of the stepwise events of directional movements. After the analysis of the data it is proposed that the amoeba undergoes a sequence of movement events that can be defined as a walking form of locomotion.

  • Estrogen-related receptor alpha interacts cooperatively with peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma coactivator-1alpha to regulate osteocalcin gene expression.

    abstract::Osteocalcin is one of the most abundant non-collagenous proteins in bone that is commonly used as a preliminary biomarker in bone formation. Osteocalcin also regulates energy metabolism as a hormone. Estrogen-related receptor alpha (ERRα) is primarily thought to regulate energy homeostasis through interacting with per...
