  • Patent number: 11161888
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for regulating localization of CCNY protein to synapses, comprising palmitoylation of CCNY protein. Specifically, the present invention relates to a method for regulating targeting of CCNY protein to synapses by regulating addition of a palmitoyl group to cysteine at position 7 and/or 8 on the CCNY protein. Therefore, the palmitoylation of CCNY, a postsynaptic protein known to be implicated in synaptic plasticity and learning and memory, is a critical process for CCNY to be localized in postsynaptic spines, and thus it can be found that CCNY plays an important role in synaptic functions.

  • Patent number: 10724037
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition for improving memory including a Cyclin Y (CCNY) inhibitor as an active ingredient. More specifically, the present invention relates to a method for improving memory in a subject comprising administering the composition for improving memory to the subject. The present invention may reveal a CCNY-oriented molecular mechanism with respect to learning and memory, help understand causes of brain diseases associated with memory problems, and ultimately be applied in the treatment and diagnosis of brain memory disorders such as dementia.

  • Publication number: 20080249525
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a radiofrequency electrode for selective ablation of a body tissue, comprising a first electrode 110 and a second electrode 120 to be inserted, through a catheter 60, into the body tissue, wherein the first electrode tip 112 formed at the end of the first electrode 110 and the second electrode tip 122 formed at the end of the second electrode 120 are bonded at a predetermined interval. Specifically, a coil spring is bonded to the ends of the first electrode 110 and the second electrode 120, and the coil spring is configured to have its end part bent in the free state and be transformed by pulling either or both of the first electrode and the second electrode. By using the electrode, ablation of a desired tissue region in a body with radiofrequency by easily controlling the direction and the position of the electrode tip can be easily performed.
