Monoamine-activated human alpha(2)-macroglobulin (alpha(2)M) has been previously demonstrated to inhibit TrkA-, TrkB-, and TrkC-mediated signal transduction. Rat alpha(1),-macroglobulin (alpha(1)M) and alpha(2)M are structural homologues of human…
Monoamine-activated alpha(2)-macroglobulin (alpha(2)M) was shown to reduce the dopamine concentration in corpus striatum of adult rat brains and inhibit other neuronal functions in vivo and in vitro. As brain-derived neurotrophic factor,…
Human pregnancy zone protein (PZP) is a major pregnancy-associated plasma protein closely related to human alpha(2)-macroglobulin (alpha(2)M). It has been demonstrated that monoamine-activated forms of human and rat alpha(2)M and rat alpha(2)M can…
