  • 캡사이신 채널로 알려진 바닐로이드 수용체 TRPV1 (캡사이신채널, Transient Receptor Potential Vanilloid 1)은 통증발현에서 중요한 역할을 하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 하지만 TRPV1의 활성조절에 관여하는 단백질에 대하여는 알려진 바가 많지 않다. 최근 rat TRPV1과 직접적으로 결합하는 단백질을 탐색하여 mouse Rab11-FIP3 (rab11-family interaction protein 3)가 rat TRPV1과 직접적으로 결합한다는 것이 보고되었다. Rab11은 여러 가지의 세포내 이동에 관여하는 것으로 보고되었다. 그러므로 Rab11-FIP3과의 결합을 통해 TRPV1의 세포막으로의 이동에 관여할 것으로 추측할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 전에 보고된 연구가 mouse와 rat 이라는 다른 종의 단백질끼리의 결합이기 때문에 같은 종에서의 상호작용을 확인하고 Rab11-FIP3의 TRPV1의 세포막으로의 이동에서의 역할을 알아보고자 현재까지 동정되지 않은 rat의 Rab11-FIP3의 유전자를 GenBank 서열을 바탕으로 rat 뇌의 RNA 로부터 cDNA 를 클로닝하여 유전자를 분리하고 TRPV1 과의 관계를 세포생물학적으로 알아보았다. 연구결과 rat의 Rab11-FIP3는 489개의 아미노산 서열을 가지고 있으며 human과는 80%, mouse와는 90% 이상 아미노산 서열의 상동성을 보였다. 조직별 분포는 심장, 뇌, 간, 콩팥, 정소에서 발현되고 있는 것을 northern blot assay와 western blot assay 로 확인하였다. rat 의 뇌조직에서 TRPV1 과 Rab11-FIP3 단백질이 결합하여 colocalize 하는 것을 면역화학방법으로 확인하였다. 이 결합은 같은 family 의 TRPV2 와는 결합하지 않는 특이적 결합이므로 Rab11-FIP3 가 TRPV1 과 상호작용하여 세포막으로의 이동에 관여할 것이라는 것을 시사한다.

  • Purpose - This study empirically analyzes the consumer value of risk management associated with illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing of fishery products imported to Korea. The global regulatory paradigm for IUU fishing has shifted from production-centered to market-centered. As a result, changes in the international fisheries trade environment emphasizing "transparency" and "legality" of the production process are accelerating. Therefore, changes in the management systems of fishery products entering the country are also needed. Accordingly, this study estimated the consumer value for risk management of IUU fishing, targeting major fish species imported to Korea, and derived the feasibility of introducing related policies. Design/methodology - This study used the choice experiment as an analysis model to estimate consumers' willingness to pay for the "possibility to check for IUU fishing." The choice experiment assumes that the value of a good or service is composed of separable attributes and that the sum of the part-worth of these individual attributes becomes the total value. In this study, respondents were presented with profiles comprising three attributes (country of origin, price, and possibility of checking IUU fishing) and the levels of frozen poulp squid, the subject of the analysis. The participants were asked to select their preferred profile. The marginal willingness to pay for each attribute was derived from the results of the respondents' choices using conditional logit model estimates. Findings - There is a marked difference in utility based on the preference of the country of origin of fishery products among consumers. In addition, the utility of fishery products that have undergone IUU fishing verification was observed to be higher, with the utility marked to be higher for lower prices. Originality/value - Estimating the policy value of the risk management in IUU fishing of imported fisheries products in this study is a novel attempt that has never been conducted before. Several studies have been conducted to assess the risk of IUU fishing associated with the import of fishery products internationally. However, such studies are yet to be conducted in Korea. Instead, policies and studies have focused on issues related to complying with trading partners' legal and transparent standards for exporting fishery products. This study should be the beginning of more in-depth empirical and theoretical explorations to establish order in the domestic seafood market and respond to changes in international regulations on IUU fishing.
