abstract：:Heat shock proteins (Hsps) are induced in response to various kinds of environmental and physiological stresses. However, it is unclear whether Hsps play roles in protecting cells in the digestive organs against xenobiotic chemicals. Here, we found that feeding induces expression of a set of Hsps specifically in the m...

abstract：:The H-Ras-like suppressor (HRASLS) is a protein family consisting of five members in humans. Despite their discovery as tumor suppressors, we demonstrated that all these proteins are phospholipid-metabolizing enzymes, such as phospholipase (PL) A1 /A2 and acyltransferase. We thus proposed to rename HRASLS1-5 as PLA/ac...
