Inhibitors of aromatase, the final enzyme of estradiol synthesis, are suspected of inducing
memory deficits in women. In previous experiments, we found hippocampal spine synapse …

Stimulation of Jurkat T cells by high concentrations of concanavalin A (ConA) induced an
elevation of the endogenous adenosine diphosphoribose (ADPR) concentration and an inward …

HERG (human ether-à-go-go-related gene) K + currents fulfill important ionic functions in
cardiac and other excitable cells. In addition, HERG channels influence cell growth and …

The neuropeptide head activator (HA) is a mitogen for mammalian cell lines of neuronal or
neuroendocrine origin. HA signalling is mediated by a G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR). …

The neuropeptide head activator stimulates cell proliferation of neuronal precursor and
neuroendocrine cells. The mitogenic signaling cascade requires Ca 2+ influx for which, as we …

TRPM4b is a Ca 2+ ‐activated, voltage‐dependent monovalent cation channel that has been
shown to act as a negative regulator of Ca 2+ entry and to be involved in the generation of …

The presence of heterotrimeric G-proteins at epithelial tight junctions suggests that these
cellular junctions are regulated by so far unknown G-protein coupled receptors. We identify …

The expression and functional role of ether-à-go-go-related gene (erg) K + channels were
examined in the bovine epididymal duct. Sperm transit through the epididymal duct relies on …

Rat insulinoma 1046‐38 cells represent a model system to study β‐cell function. The
mRNAs for sst1 and sst2, two of the five somatostatin receptors, were detected by reverse …

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Because of their diffuse distribution, neuroendocrine cells of the gut
have not been isolated successfully for electrophysiological characterization. We therefore …
