Dopamine and cyclic‐AMP activated phosphoprotein Mr32kDa (DARPP‐32) is a central signalling protein in neurotransmission. Following DARPP‐32 phosphorylation by protein kinase A (PKA), DARPP‐32 becomes a potent protein phosphatase 1 (PP1) inhibitor. D...

Cyclin‐dependent kinase 5 (Cdk5) is an atypical member of the cyclin‐dependent kinase family and functions as a serine/threonine kinase that can be activated by non‐cyclin binding activators p35 or p39. Cdk5 expression and activity has been linked wi...

Thioredoxin system protein expression in carcinomas of the pancreas, bile duct and ampulla (2019)
Preprint / Working Paper
Al-hadyan, K., Storr, S., Zaitoun, A., Lobo, D., & Martin, S. Thioredoxin system protein expression in carcinomas of the pancreas, bile duct and ampulla

Background: Pancreatic cancer (PC), including the ampulla and bile duct, is very aggressive, and thus difficult to treat with effective therapies. The current treatment options have failed to improve PC five-year survival rates over the last 30 to 40...
