Lu X, Hojo S, Mizukoshi A, Katoh T
BMC Public Health . 2023 Jun; 23(1):1205. PMID: 37344806
Background: In Japan, there are currently no definitive conclusions regarding the characteristics of multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS) and electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS). This study aimed to determine the prevalence and correlation...

Kotake T, Hojo S, Tajima N, Matsuoka K, Koyama T, Tsumuraya Y
J Biol Chem . 2008 Jan; 283(13):8125-35. PMID: 18199744
Monomeric sugars generated during the metabolism of polysaccharides, glycoproteins, and glycolipids are imported to the cytoplasm and converted to respective nucleotide sugars via monosaccharide 1-phosphates, to be reutilized as activated...

Kotake T, Hojo S, Yamaguchi D, Aohara T, Konishi T, Tsumuraya Y
Biosci Biotechnol Biochem . 2007 Mar; 71(3):761-71. PMID: 17341835
UDP-sugar pyrophosphorylase catalyzes the conversion of various monosaccharide 1-phosphates to the respective UDP-sugars in the salvage pathway. Using the genomic database, we cloned a putative gene for UDP-sugar pyrophosphorylase from...
