Functional characterization of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) PepT2 transporters
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)The high-affinity/low-capacity system Slc15a2 (PepT2) is responsible for the reuptake of di/tripeptides from the renal proximal tubule, but it also operates in many other tissues and organs. Information regarding PepT2 in ... -
Functional characterization of Carboxyl Ester Lipase variants causing diabetes and exocrine dysfunction
(Master thesis, 2016-11-21)The digestive enzyme carboxyl ester lipase (CEL) is mainly expressed in the acinar cells of the pancreas. We have previously identified disease-causing mutations in a variable number of tandem repeats (VNTR) domain, localised ... -

(Master thesis, 2021-06-15)Four C-terminal EBP1 mutants, Q367H, Q367K, K373E-Ins K372R-Del, discovered in various cancer tumors werer investigated by PipStrip assay, whre Q367K had increased binding. Thermal denaturation and immonostaing localization. -
Functional characterization of rare variants of SCHAD, a protein involved in unregulated insulin secretion
(Master thesis, 2018-06-26)Congenital Hyperinsulinism of Infancy (CHI) is a group of rare inherited disorders characterized by persistent hypoglycaemia due to inappropriate elevated secretion of insulin from the pancreatic beta cells. CHI can be ... -
Functional dissection of a genetic locus for visceral fat mass (11q23.3)

Functional Evolution of Clustered Aquaporin Genes Reveals Insights into the Oceanic Success of Teleost Eggs
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Aquaporin-mediated oocyte hydration is considered important for the evolution of pelagic eggs and the radiative success of marine teleosts. However, the molecular regulatory mechanisms controlling this vital process are ... -
Functional investigations of the Ecdysone Receptor and production of ecdysone in the salmon louse (Lepeophtheirus salmonis)
(Doctoral thesis, 2016-05-24)The salmon louse Lepeophtheirus salmonis is a marine ectoparasitic copepod naturally infecting salmonid fishes in the Northern hemisphere. At present, salmon louse infections are the most severe disease problem in the ... -
Functional modifications associated with gastrointestinal tract organogenesis during metamorphosis in Atlantic halibut (Hippoglossus hippoglossus)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-02-19)Background: Flatfish metamorphosis is a hormone regulated post-embryonic developmental event that transforms a symmetric larva into an asymmetric juvenile. In altricial-gastric teleost fish, differentiation of the stomach ... -
Functional Sites in Proteins: analysis and annotation of five nuclear functional sites for the ELM resource
(Master thesis, 2004)Proteins are molecular tools which a cell expresses from specific genes, where the protein has one or several functions. An example of a protein function can be to detect a particular hormone, transporting itself to the ... -
Functional studies of two wild type variants of HIV-1 Tat

Functional traits of alpine plant communities show long-term resistance to changing herbivore densities
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Herbivores shape vegetation by suppressing certain plant species while benefitting others. By thus modifying plant species functional composition, herbivores affect carbon cycling, albedo, vegetation structure and species' ... -
Functional traits, not productivity, predict alpine plant community openness to seedling recruitment under climatic warming
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Understanding the degree to which plant communities are open to seedling recruitment is key to predicting how they will be impacted by climate change. We experimentally assessed whether communities assembled under colder ... -
Funksjonell karakterisering av østrogenreseptor α fra atlanterhavstorsk (Gadus morhua); kloning, ligandaktivering og induksjon av østrogenreseptorsignalveien i presisjonskuttede leverskiver
(Master thesis, 2017-11-07)Østrogenreseptor α (ERα) er en steroidreseptor som spiller en viktig rolle i regulering av genuttrykning under kjønnsutvikling og vitellogenese hos teleoster. Den aktiveres naturlig av endogene østrogener, men kan også ... -
Future climate scenarios for a coastal productive planktonic food web resulting in microplankton phenology changes and decreased trophic transfer efficiency
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-04-10)We studied the effects of future climate change scenarios on plankton communities of a Norwegian fjord using a mesocosm approach. After the spring bloom, natural plankton were enclosed and treated in duplicates with inorganic ... -
The future looks like the past: Introgression of domesticated Atlantic salmon escapees in a risk assessment framework
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Escapes of domesticated fish from aquaculture, followed by interbreeding with wild conspecifics, represent a threat to the genetic integrity and evolutionary trajectory of natural populations. Approximately fifty years of ... -
Future monitoring of litter and microplastics in the Arctic—challenges, opportunities, and strategies
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)The Arctic Monitoring and Assessment Programme has published a plan and guidelines for the monitoring of litter and microplastics (MP) in the Arctic. Here, we look beyond suggestions for immediate monitoring and discuss ... -
The Future of DNA Barcoding: Reflections from Early Career Researchers
