  Subject Areas on Research

  • Protein kinase C zeta is associated with the mitotic apparatus in primary cell cultures of the shark rectal gland. 
  • Regulation of epithelial chloride channels by protein phosphatase. 
  • Salt stress increases abundance and glycosylation of CFTR localized at apical surfaces of salt gland secretory cells. 
  • Tyrosine phosphorylation is a novel pathway for regulation of chloride secretion in shark rectal gland. 
  • Vasoactive intestinal peptide, forskolin, and genistein increase apical CFTR trafficking in the rectal gland of the spiny dogfish, Squalus acanthias. Acute regulation of CFTR trafficking in an intact epithelium.
