    ..001). Low CPI-17 levels were directly associated with pro-inflammatory genes such as TNF (P = 0.012) and IL-1B (P = 0.07). Our results suggest a role for CPI-17 in restoring skin homoeostasis in CFC lesions. ..

    ..PPP1R6 protein translocates from a Golgi to cytosolic location in response to glucose. The molecular size and subcellular location of myotube glycogen particles is determined by the PPP1R6, PTG and G(M) scaffolding. ..
  9. Ferrer Dalmau J, González A, Platara M, Navarrete C, Martinez J, Barreto L, et al. Ref2, a regulatory subunit of the yeast protein phosphatase 1, is a novel component of cation homoeostasis. Biochem J. 2010;426:355-64 pubmed publisher
    ..Remarkably, the evidence collected indicates that the role of Ref2 in cation homoeostasis may be unrelated to its previously identified function in the formation of mRNA via the APT (for associated with Pta1) complex. ..
