DXP reductoisomerase (1-deoxy-D-xylulose 5-phosphate reductoisomerase or DXR) is an enzyme that interconverts 1-deoxy-D-xylulose 5-phosphate (DXP) and 2-C-methyl-D-erythritol 4-phosphate (MEP). It is classified under EC 1.1.1.267.It is part of the nonmevalonate […]

Ubiquinol oxidases (EC 1.10.3.11) are enzymes in the bacterial electron transport chain that oxidise ubiquinol into ubiquinone and reduce oxygen to water. These enzymes are one set of the many […]

Formate dehydrogenases are a set of enzymes that catalyse the oxidation of formate to carbon dioxide donating the electrons to a second substrate such as NAD+ in formate:NAD+ oxidoreductase (EC […]

GLUT5 is a fructose transporter expressed on the apical border of enterocytes in the small intestine. GLUT5 allows for fructose to be transported from the intestinal lumen into the enterocyte […]

The sodium/glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SLC5A2 (solute carrier family 5 (sodium/glucose cotransporter)) gene.

Sodium/glucose cotransporter 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SLC5A1 gene.

In molecular biology the protein domain Whey acidic protein (WAP) has been identified as a major whey protein in milk and is important in regulating the proliferation of mammary epithelial […]

Lysine decarboxylase is an enzyme that converts lysine to cadaverine.

Spermine synthase (EC 2.5.1.22 spermidine aminopropyltransferase spermine synthetase) is an enzyme that converts spermidine into spermine. This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction S-adenosylmethioninamine + spermidine S-methyl-5′-thioadenosine + spermine

In molecular biology Ornithine decarboxylase antizyme (ODC-AZ) is an ornithine decarboxylase inhibitor. It binds to and destabilises ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) a key enzyme in polyamine synthesis. ODC is then rapidly […]
