Abstract excerpt
Vascular proliferation is one of the major causes for morbidity and mortality in diabetes. However, the cellular and molecular mechanisms that link hyperglycemia to this complication remain unclear. In present study, we demonstrated by site-directed mutagenesis that mutated CD59 was more susceptible to glycation-inactivation for hyperglycemia. Mutated and wild-type CD59s were stably expressed in Chinese hamster...
