Quantitative study of aluminum binding to human serum albumin and transferrin by a chelex competitive binding assay.

Abstract:

:Binding of aluminum to human serum albumin and transferrin was investigated using a competitive binding assay incorporating a cation exchange resin, chelex. Both albumin and transferrin were found to produce linear Scatchard plots of aluminum binding data over the aluminum and protein concentration ranges found in humans. Binding constants measured for albumin and transferrin were 1.96 and 0.515 microM, respectively.

  • Expression analysis and chromosomal assignment of PRA1 and RILP genes.

    abstract::PRA1 (prenylated Rab acceptor) is a general regulator of Rab proteins, while RILP (Rab interacting lysosomal protein) is a specific effector for Rab7. It has been shown that PRA1 interacts with Rab proteins and with VAMP2. Therefore PRA1 is probably an important factor for membrane traffic, linking together the functi...
