Inflammation is profoundly involved in the development of Alzheimer 's disease (AD) and other neurodegenerative diseases.
Inflammation is a key component of Alzheimer 's disease (AD) , and we have examined the effect of two polymorphisms (-174 G/C and -572 C/G) in the promoter of the inflammatory cytokine interleukin-6 (IL-6) gene on risk of AD in 318 AD patients.
Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP-1) is a nuclear protein recently implicated in the initial inflammatory response by modulating expression of inflammation-related genes , like interleukin 1 (IL-1).
With respect to the charge , the archaeal enzyme behaved differently from the eukaryotic thermolabile poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase , described as a basic protein (pI = 9.5).
