Article Synopsis
- This review highlights recent advancements in engineering thermostable phytase through genetic modification and immobilization techniques over the last seven years.
- Genetic modifications have improved the enzyme's thermostability and functionality, while immobilization methods have helped retain 50-60% of its activity at temperatures above 50°C.
- Phytase is essential in the food and feed industries, as it reduces phytate content to enhance nutritional value in flour and poultry feed, making it a robust option for high-temperature applications.
Differential Expression of Prostaglandin Receptors in Canine Uterus With Pyometra.
Top Companion Anim Med
January 2022
The objective of the study was to ascertain the role of prostaglandins Viz., PGE and PGF, and their respective receptors in the pathophysiology of canine pyometra. Normal (n = 6) and pyometra (n = 8) affected uterus were collected from bitches undergoing ovariohysterectomy.

Its role in reproduction in different species has created great interest in recent times. In the present study, we aimed to elucidate LPA signaling in nonpregnant buffalo uterus by in vitro studies.

What is the main finding and its importance? Inhibition of CK2 impaired the spontaneous and oxytocin-induced contractility in late pregnant mouse uterus. This finding suggests that CK2 is a novel pathway mediating oxytocin-induced contractility in the uterus and thus opens up the possibility for this class of drugs to be developed as a new class of tocolytics.
Abstract: The protein kinase casein kinase 2 (CK2) is a ubiquitously expressed serine or threonine kinase known to phosphorylate a number of substrates.
