Antibody specific for PKG-1alpha nitration
Scientists at AU identified that nitration of PKG-1α in tyrosine 247 attenuates the catalytic activity of PKG-1 α, which plays a critical role in the development of vascular dysfunction in pulmonary hypertension and other vascular pathologies. The inventors developed the humanized monoclonal antibody or antigen-binding fragment for detecting...

A Peptide Approach to Block eNOS Phosphorylation at T495
This invention is a peptide that blocks eNOS phosphorylation. These peptides are designed to target the T495 phosporylation site of eNOS to prevent the activation of eNOS that leads to superoxide production and overwhelming inflammation. The initial peptide has been shown to reduce NOS derived superoxide and cell barrier loss throughout trials. Background: Pulmonary...
