(L)-Tyrosine, as other proteogenic aminoacids, conjugates with corresponding tRNA forming ...

Androstenedione originates either from the conversion of Dehydroepiandrosterone ...

Endogenous and exogenous estrogens undergo oxidative metabolism by hepatic microsomal cytochrome P-450. Aromatic hydroxylation at either the C2 or C4 position is a major route of Estradiol metabolism in humans and other mammals, although there is less 4-hydroxylation than 2-hydroxylation. ...

Endogenous and exogenous estrogens undergo oxidative metabolism by hepatic microsomal cytochrome P-450. Aromatic hydroxylation at either the C2 or C4 position is a major route of Estrone metabolism in humans and other mammals, although there are less 4-hydroxylation than 2-hydroxylation events. ...

Key enzymes involved in retinoid metabolisms are alcohol and aldehyde dehydrogenases that convert retinols to aldehydes and aldehydes to carboxylic acids, respectively. The first oxidation reaction is catalyzed by a large number of enzymes from the Dehydrogenase/reductase (SDR family), and by classic ...

Glutathione can be found in the cell in oxidized (Glutathione disulfide) and reduced (Glutathione) form. Reduced glutathione can be either directly formed from Glutathione disulfide as the result of activity of Glutathione reductase (GSHR) [1], ...

D-Glucose is the major energy source for mammalian cells as well as an important substrate for protein and lipid synthesis. Mammalian cells take up D-Glucose from extracellular fluid into the cell through two families of structurally related glucose transporters. Solute carrier family ...

Androgen is the active metabolic product, 5alpha-Dihydrotestosterone, which is produced from the transformation of Testosterone catalyzed by the Steroid-5-alpha-reductase, alpha polypeptides 1 and 2 (S5AR1 and S5AR2) [1], [2]. ...

Estrogen receptor 1 (ESR1) is a major ligand-activated transcription factor, member of the family nuclear receptors [1]. ESR1 acts via two main pathways: a ligand-dependent and ligand-independent manner [2]. Activated by a ligand, ESR1 ...

In addition to the conventional hormone-dependent regulation of activity of Estrogen receptor alpha and beta (ESR1(nuclear) and ESR2 respectively), there is a cross-talk between signal transduction pathways and estrogen receptors [1]. Epidermal growth factor (EGF), ...
