Rat alpha-1-macroglobulin (alpha(1)M) and alpha-2-macroglobulin (alpha(2)M) are murine homologs of human alpha(2)M, and rat alpha(2)M is generally known as an acute-phase protein. Monoamine-activated forms of human alpha(2)M have been shown to…
Monoamine-activated human alpha2-macroglobulin (alpha2M) has been previously demonstrated to inhibit TrkA-, TrkB-, and TrkC-mediated signal transduction. Rat alpha1-macroglobulin (alpha1M) and alpha2M are structural homologues of human alpha2M, but…
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…
Methylamine-modified alpha-2-macroglobulin (MA-alpha 2M) has been recently shown to inhibit the biological activity of beta-nerve growth factor (NGF) in promoting neurite outgrowth by embryonic dorsal root ganglia in culture (Koo PH, Liebl DJ, J…
Monoamine-activated alpha 2-macroglobulin (alpha 2M) has recently been shown to inhibit the growth and survival of cholinergic neurons of the basal forebrain (Liebl and Koo: J Neurosci Res 35:170-182, 1993). The mechanism of this inhibitory effect is…
Human placental protein 14 (PP14; also known as glycodelin and progesterone-associatcd endometrial protein) is an immuno-suppressive protein of the lipocalin structural superfamily. Mechanisms regulating serum PP14's inmunosuppressive activity remain…
