Functional and animal studies of short-chain 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase (SCHAD), a fatty acid beta-oxidation enzyme involved in congenital hyperinsulinism of infancy
(Doctoral thesis, 2021-02-16)Short-chain 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase (SCHAD) is a mitochondrial enzyme involved in fatty acid β-oxidation and the regulation of β-cell insulin secretion. Its role in insulin secretion became apparent in 2001 when ... -
Functional and Prognostic Role of MicroRNAs in Cancer Associated Fibroblasts and Stroma in Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma
(Doctoral thesis, 2023-11-23)Nyere studier har vist at forandringer i bindevevscellene som omgir kreftsvulsten er viktige for utviklingen av munnhulekreft. Kreft stroma kan regulere fenotypen av kreftcellene, og på den måten kan påvirke klinisk forløpet ... -
Functional characterization of all-trans retinoic acid-induced differentiation factor (ATRAID)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)All-trans retinoic acid-induced differentiation (ATRAID) factor was first identified in HL60 cells. Several mRNA isoforms exist, but the respective proteins have not been fully characterized. In transfected cells expressing ... -
Functional evaluation of 16 SCHAD missense variants: Only amino acid substitutions causing congenital hyperinsulinism of infancy lead to loss-of-function phenotypes in vitro
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Short‐chain 3‐hydroxyacyl‐CoA dehydrogenase (SCHAD), encoded by the HADH gene, is a ubiquitously expressed mitochondrial enzyme involved in fatty acid oxidation. This protein also plays a role in insulin secretion as ... -
