“…Our MD simulations on human σ1-R suggested that ligands access the binding site through a cavity that opens on the protein surface in contact with the membrane, in agreement with previous experimental studies on σ1-R from Xenopus laevis. Additionally, steroids were found to be among the preferred σ1-R ligands predicted by VS, and 16,17-didehydroprogesterone was shown by fluorescence titration to bind human σ1-R, with significantly higher affinity than the prototypic σ1-R ligand pridopidine in the same essay. …”

“…A subset of the p24 proteins (p24α(3), -β(1), -γ(3) and -δ(2)) is upregulated when Xenopus laevis intermediate pituitary melanotrope cells are physiologically activated to produce vast amounts of their major secretory cargo, the prohormone proopiomelanocortin (POMC). …”

“…Using freeze-fracture techniques, we have examined the morpholog of tight junction networks found along the length of the alimentary tract of Xenopus laevis before and after metamorphosis. We have developed the hypothesis, based on these observations, that the geometrical organization of the network determined by the stress-induced shape changes normally experienced by the cells linked by the network. …”

When expressed in embryos, ADAM13 induces hyperplasia of the cement gland, whereas ADAM10 does not. …”
