Distribution and risk factors of canine heart diseases and survey for owners treatment intention by Noordin, Norhidayah

“…Most dog owners (92.3%) were willing to seek treatment if their pet dogs were diagnosed, but the cost (39.5%) was a primary concern for long-term treatment. Attitude, subjective norms, and PBC were significant predictors of the intention to treat. …”

Myristoylation restricts orientation of the GRASP domain on membranes and promotes membrane tethering by Heinrich, Frank, Nanda, Hirsh, Goh, Haw Zan, Bachert, Collin, Lösche, Mathias, Linstedt, Adam D.

“…The mammalian Golgi reassembly stacking protein (GRASP) proteins are Golgi-localized homotypic membrane tethers that organize Golgi stacks into a long, contiguous ribbon-like structure. It is unknown how GRASPs undergo trans pairing given that cis interactions between the proteins in the plane of the membrane are intrinsically favored. …”
