PLoS One . 2014 Jun; 9(6):e99205. PMID: 24901844
Tear secretion is important as it supplies water to the ocular surface and keeps eyes moist. Both the parasympathetic and sympathetic pathways contribute to tear secretion. Although intracellular Ca2+ elevation...

Ohashi Y, Tsuzaka K, Takeuchi T, Sasaki Y, Tsubota K
Curr Eye Res . 2008 Aug; 33(8):621-9. PMID: 18696337
Purpose: To investigate the distribution and expression of aquaporin 5 (AQP5) and its C-terminal binding protein in the apical membrane of the lacrimal glands (LGs) in a mouse model for...

Sasaki Y, Tsubota K, Kawedia J, Menon A, Yasui M
Curr Eye Res . 2007 Nov; 32(11):923-9. PMID: 18027168
Purpose: This study was designed to clarify the physiological function and tissue distribution of aquaporin 5 (AQP5) in the lacrimal and parotid glands. Methods: Saliva and tear volumes were compared...

Kishimoto M, Fujiki R, Takezawa S, Sasaki Y, Nakamura T, Yamaoka K, et al.
Endocr J . 2006 Apr; 53(2):157-72. PMID: 16618973
Nuclear steroid/thyroid vitamin A/D receptor genes form a gene superfamily and encode DNA-binding transcription factors that control the transcription of target genes in a ligand-dependent manner. It has become clear...

EMBO J . 2005 Oct; 24(22):3881-94. PMID: 16252006
We have previously shown that the novel ATP-dependent chromatin-remodeling complex WINAC is required for the ligand-bound vitamin D receptor (VDR)-mediated transrepression of the 25(OH)D3 1alpha-hydroxylase (1alpha(OH)ase) gene. However, the molecular...

Mol Endocrinol . 2005 Jan; 19(5):1181-90. PMID: 15661834
The expression of CYP2C12 by GH occurs in female but not in male rat livers. Direct injection of the CYP2C12 promoter-luciferase gene into male rat livers showed that the CYP2C12...
