摘要:
An oxidized phospholipid degrading enzyme is provided, which plays an important role in the oxygen stress preventive mechanism in organisms. The enzyme hydrolyzes a 1-acyl-2-.omega.-carboxyfatty acid acyl-3-phosphatidylcholine as a substrate at the 2-ester bond thereof to form 1-acyl-2-lyso-3-phosphatidylcholine. The activity of the enzyme is slightly enhanced by 4 mM calcium chloride. The molecular mass of the enzyme is 95.+-.5 kDa (by gel filtration). The enzyme is composed of three subunits whose molecular masses have been found to be 29 kDa, 30 kDa and 45 kDa, respectively, by SDS-polyacrylamide electrophoresis. A gene coding the enzyme is also provided. This gene is important for the synthesis of the enzyme by genetic engineering.

摘要:
The present invention provides a knockout animal artificially modified to inhibit α-TTP gene expression. This animal is useful as a tool for understanding mechanisms for the development of familial isolated vitamin E deficiency and other diseases induced by oxidative stress (e.g., arteriosclerosis, diabetes). It is also useful as a tool for developing a therapeutic agent for these diseases.

摘要:
Disclosed is a polycyclic ester containing a cyano group and a lactone skeleton, represented by following Formula (1): wherein Ra represents, for example, a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group having one to six carbon atoms which may have a halogen atom; R1s each represent, for example, a halogen atom or an alkyl or haloalkyl group having one to six carbon atoms; “m” is the number of R1s; “n” is the number of cyano groups; and CH2═C(Ra)COO— group may have either of an endo conformation and an exo conformation. Accordingly, there is provided a novel polycyclic ester containing a cyano group and a lactone skeleton which is useful typically as a monomeric component for highly functional polymers. A polymer, for example, derived from this compound is highly soluble in an organic solvent while remaining stable typically to chemicals and exhibits improved hydrolyzability and/or improved solubility in water after hydrolysis.
