Period (gene)
Period (per) is a gene located on the X chromosome of Drosophila melanogaster. Oscillations in levels of both per transcript and its corresponding protein PER have a period of approximately […]
TLR4
Toll-like receptor 4 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TLR4 gene. TLR 4 is a toll-like receptor. It detects lipopolysaccharide from Gram-negative bacteria and is thus […]
TLR5
Toll-like receptor 5 also known as TLR5 is a protein which in humans is encoded by the TLR5 gene. It is a member of the Toll-like receptor (TLR) family.
TLR7
Toll-like receptor 7 also known as TLR7 is protein that in humans is encoded by the TLR7 gene. Orthologs are found in mammals and birds. It is a member of […]
TIRAP
TIRAP is an adapter molecule associated with toll-like receptors.The innate immune system recognizes microbial pathogens through Toll-like receptors (TLRs) which identify pathogen-associated molecular patterns. Different TLRs recognize different pathogen-associated molecular […]
Linker of activated T cells
The Linker for Activation of T cells also known as LAT is a protein which in humans is encoded by the LAT gene. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants […]
Amidophosphoribosyltransferase
Amidophosphoribosyltransferase (ATase) also known as glutamine phosphoribosylpyrophosphate amidotransferase (GPAT) is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the PPAT (phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate amidotransferase) gene.
Adenylosuccinate lyase
Adenylosuccinate lyase (or adenylosuccinase) is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the ADSL gene.Adenylosuccinate lyase converts adenylosuccinate to AMP and fumarate as part of the purine nucleotide cycle.
Adenylosuccinate synthase
In molecular biology Adenylosuccinate synthase (or adenylosuccinate synthetase) (EC 6.3.4.4.) is an enzyme that plays an important role in purine biosynthesis by catalysing the guanosine triphosphate (GTP)-dependent conversion of inosine […]
