Identification of a major bovine heart Ca2+ binding protein.

abstract：:Circular RNA (circRNA) belongs to the non-coding RNA family and is involved in various human cancers, such as lung cancer and colorectal cancer. Nevertheless, whether circRNA expression is related to chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) progression remains largely unclear. In our study, we investigated the role of circ-...

abstract：:Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1) is a nuclear enzyme that is involved in DNA repair and activated by DNA damage. When activated, PARP-1 consumes NAD(+) to form ADP-ribose polymers on acceptor proteins. Extensive activation of PARP-1 leads to glycolytic blockade, energy failure, and cell death. These events have ...
