CAT1, CAT2, DDAH2, and arginase-1 expression in renal resistance vessels is regulated through the AT(1) receptor.
Title: AT(1) receptor activation regulates the mRNA expression of CAT1, CAT2, arginase-1, and DDAH2 in preglomerular vessels from angiotensin II hypertensive rats.
HO-1 overexpression significantly attenuates endotoxin-induced increases in nitric oxide and l-arginine transport, as well as the expression of iNOS and CAT-2 isozymes in septic rats.
Title: HO-1 overexpression attenuates endotoxin effects on CAT-2 isozymes expression.
In mesangial cells, expression of both CAT-1 and CAT-2 mRNA was augmented after incubation with LPS. In vivo administration of LPS produced a significant increase in glomerular cationic amino acid transporter-2 (CAT-2) mRNA expression but not CAT-1 mRNA
Title: Differential regulation of glomerular arginine transporters (CAT-1 and CAT-2) in lipopolysaccharide-treated rats.
Ischemic ARF is associated with augmented tubular CAT-2 mRNA expression, which leads to enhanced l-Arg transport and increased NO production.
Title: L-Arginine transport is augmented through up-regulation of tubular CAT-2 mRNA in ischemic acute renal failure in rats.
Dexamethasone induces cyclohydrolase 1 and CAT-2 exression in lung.
Title: Dexamethasone suppresses iNOS yet induces GTPCH and CAT-2 mRNA expression in rat lungs.
In macrophages LPS up-regulates CAT-2B mRNA expression simultaneously with inducible NO Synthase(iNOS)resulting in increased L-arginine transport. Up-regulation of CAT-2B mRNA expression involves NF-kappaB activiation.
Title: Nuclear factor-kappaB mediates simultaneous induction of inducible nitric-oxide synthase and Up-regulation of the cationic amino acid transporter CAT-2B in rat alveolar macrophages.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
