research Biochemical and Structural Characteristics, Gene Regulation, Physiological, Pathological and Clinical Features of Lipocalin-Type Prostaglandin D2 Synthase as a Multifunctional Lipocalin
Lipocalin-Type Prostaglandin D2 Synthase (L-PGDS) is a protein that plays many roles in the body, including sleep regulation, pain management, food intake, and protection against harmful substances. It also affects fat metabolism, glucose intolerance, cell maturation, and is involved in various diseases like diabetes, cancer, and arthritis. It can influence sex organ development and embryonic cell differentiation, and its levels can be used as a diagnostic marker for certain conditions.

research Alkyl shikimates promote proliferation of human dermal fibroblasts and exhibit structure–activity relationships
The study investigated the effects of alkyl shikimates (SAEs) on human dermal fibroblast proliferation, revealing that SAEs with shorter alkyl chains (CH3, C2H5, C3H7) increased proliferation by 30-50% at 5.5 mM, while those with longer chains (C4H9, C5H11) showed low proliferation or cytotoxicity. The proliferation rates correlated with the hydrophobicity and membrane permeability of SAEs, suggesting that membrane-permeable SAEs form complexes with carboxylesterase in fibroblasts, leading to intracellular hydrolysis into shikimic acid (SA) and alcohols (ALs), with SA promoting proliferation. The study found no significant differences in binding energy between CES and SAEs, indicating that the differences in proliferation are likely due to the intracellular regeneration of SA and the varying toxicity of ALs based on alkyl chain length.
