Regulation of cell proliferation by the opioid growth factor receptor is dependent on karyopherin <i>β</i> and Ran for nucleocytoplasmic trafficking
1 Sept 2010
Abstract excerpt
The opioid growth factor (OGF; [Met(5)]-enkephalin) and the OGF receptor (OGFr) form an endogenous and tonically active growth-regulating system that modulates cell proliferation by upregulating the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitory pathway. Previous reports have documented that nucleocytoplasmic trafficking of the OGF-OGFr axis is dependent on nuclear localization signals. This study determined the specific...
