They explain that PC-1 is a class II homodimeric #transmembrane protein, which means it is made up of two identical parts that are embedded in the #cell membrane. They then explain that when PC-1 is increased in the cells, it is enriched in something called MVs (which are small vesicles that come from the #plasma #membrane).

Internally, adenosine is transformed into inosine and S-(5′-Adenosyl)-L-homocysteine (AdoHcy) by adenosine deaminase (ADA) and S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine hydrolase (SAHH) respectively. Additionally, adenosine #kinase helps to maintain the concentration of adenine #nucleosides/#nucleotides by converting adenosine into adenosine monophosphate. Finally, during cellular injury or hypoxia/#ischemia, adenosine is formed from #ATP and is transported inside the #cell using #transmembrane proteins.

12 followers · 14 posts · Server qoto.orgHello! As I’m new both to #Mastodon and to the #QOTO instance, I’d like to make my #introductions here.
I’m Dom, a postgraduate researcher studying #CondensedMatter, in particular #SoftMatter, #ActiveMatter, #MolecularBiology, #CellBiology, #PhaseTransitions, and #ComplexSystems using the tools of #TheoreticalPhysics, #BioPhysics, #StatisticalPhysics, #FluidDynamics, #ComputationalPhysics, and #Simulation.
I’m working on a few projects at the moment. One addresses #universality in active #turbulence with #spectral techniques. Another predicts a new microphase separation regime in inhomogeneous active #nematics by simulating the coupled #CahnHilliard, #NavierStokes, and #BerisEdwards equations. In another project I’m developing a #FieldTheory of the #orderphobic effect, a nonspecific interaction between #transmembrane bodies anchored in a #lipid #bilayer.
I’m also interested in…
