abstract：:1. In order to further characterize the adenosine binding sites that we previously purified and termed P3 purinergic receptor-like protein (P3LP), a reliable binding assay method was developed using [3H]-5'-N-ethylcarboxamidoadenosine (NECA) as a radioligand and the newly developed high-affinity selective ligand 9-(6,...

abstract：:Transthyretin (TTR) is a binding protein for the thyroid hormone thyroxine (T4 ), retinol and β-amyloid peptide. TTR aids the transfer of T4 from the blood to the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), but also prevents T4 loss from the blood-CSF barrier. It is, however, unclear whether TTR affects the clearance of β-amyloid from...
