摘要:
The present invention relates generally to a sphingosine kinase variant and to derivatives, analogues, chemical equivalents and mimetics thereof exhibiting reduced catalytic activity and, more particularly, to sphingosine kinase variants which exhibit a reduced capacity to phosphorylate sphingosine to sphingosine-1-phosphate. The present invention also contemplates genetic sequences encoding said sphingosine kinase variants and derivatives, analogues and mimetics thereof. The variants of the present invention are useful in a range of therapeutic and prophylactic applications.
摘要:
A method for producing an objective substance such as sphingoid bases and sphingolipids using yeast is provided. An objective substance is produced by cultivating yeast having an ability to produce the objective substance in a culture medium containing an additive that is able to associate with, bind to, solubilize, and/or capture the objective substance, and collecting the objective substance from cells of the yeast and/or the culture medium.
摘要:
The invention relates to Pichia ciferrii cells modified by genetic engineering, to the use thereof, and to a method for producing sphingoid bases and sphingolipids.
摘要:
The present invention relates generally to a method of modulating hyperglycaemia-induced endothelial cell functioning and agents useful for same. More particularly, the present invention relates to a method of modulating hyperglycaemia-induced vascular endothelial cell functioning by modulating intracellular sphingosine kinase-mediated signalling. The method of the present invention is useful, inter alia, in the treatment and/or prophylaxis of the adverse vascular endothelial cell functioning associated with conditions characterised by hyperglycaemia, and/or diabetes mellitus, per se.
摘要:
The present invention relates generally to a method of modulating EGFR-mediated cellular functional activity and agents useful for same. More particularly, the present invention relates to a method of modulating agonist induced EGFR-mediated cellular proliferation by modulating upstream intracellular sphingosine kinase signalling. The method of the invention is useful, inter alia, in the treatment and/or prophylaxis of conditions characterised by aberrant EGFR-mediated cellular functioning, in particular aberrant EGFR-mediated cellular proliferation.
