Store-independent pathways for cytosolic STIM1 clustering in the regulation of store-operated Ca2+ influx (2012)
Journal Article
Zeng, B., Chen, G., & Xu, S. Z. (2012). Store-independent pathways for cytosolic STIM1 clustering in the regulation of store-operated Ca2+ influx. Biochemical Pharmacology, 84(8), 1024-1035. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bcp.2012.07.013

STIM1 is a Ca 2+ sensing molecule. Once the Ca 2+ stores are depleted, STIM1 moves towards the plasma membrane (PM) (translocation), forms puncta (clustering), and triggers store-operated Ca 2+ entry (SOCE). Although this process has been regarded as... Read More about Store-independent pathways for cytosolic STIM1 clustering in the regulation of store-operated Ca2+ influx.

Pharmacological comparison of novel synthetic fenamate analogues with econazole and 2-APB on the inhibition of TRPM2 channels (2012)
Journal Article

BACKGROUND: Fenamate analogues, econazole and 2-APB are inhibitors of TRPM2 channels, which have been used as research tools. However, these compounds have different chemical structures and therapeutic applications. Here we aimed to investigate the p...

Effect of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and new fenamate analogues on TRPC4 and TRPC5 channels (2012)
Journal Article
Jiang, H., Zeng, B., Chen, G., Bot, D., Eastmond, S., Elsenussi, S. E., …Xu, S. (2012). Effect of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and new fenamate analogues on TRPC4 and TRPC5 channels. Biochemical Pharmacology, 83(7), 923-931. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bcp.2012.01.014

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are widely used anti-inflammatory therapeutic agents,among which the fenamate analogues play important roles in regulating intracellular Ca2+ transient and ion channels. However, the effect of NSAIDs on... Read More about Effect of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and new fenamate analogues on TRPC4 and TRPC5 channels.
