Protein kinase C activity regulates D-serine availability in the brain.

abstract：:Neurosecretory terminals (neurosecretosomes, NSS) were isolated from rat neurohypophyses. High [K+]o or veratridine stimulated secretion of vasopressin and oxytocin by up to approximately 100-fold. Stimulated secretion was dependent on calcium and temperature, and could be elicited from NSS maintained in culture for 4...

abstract：:Transcriptional dysregulation is a hallmark of Huntington's disease (HD) and one cause of this dysregulation is enhanced activity of the REST-mSIN3a-mSIN3b-CoREST-HDAC repressor complex, which silences transcription through REST binding to the RE1/NRSE silencer. Normally, huntingtin (HTT) prevents this binding, allowi...
