Integrin beta-3 (β3) or CD61 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ITGB3 gene. CD61 is a cluster of differentiation found on thrombocytes.

Cystatin C or cystatin 3 (formerly gamma trace post-gamma-globulin or neuroendocrine basic polypeptide) a protein encoded by the CST3 gene is mainly used as a biomarker of kidney function. Recently […]

Caspase 12 is an enzyme known as a cysteine protease. It belongs to a family of enzymes called caspases that cleave their substrates at C-terminal aspartic acid residues. It is […]

Dimethylallyltranstransferase is an enzyme that converts dimethylallylpyrophosphate and isopentenyl pyrophosphate into farnesylpyrophosphate. It is also referred to as farnesylpyrophosphate synthase or farnesyldiphosphate synthase.Pyrophosphate is also involved as both a reactant […]

Alpha-amylase α-Amylase is a protein enzyme EC 3.2.1.1 that hydrolyses alpha bonds of large alpha-linked polysaccharides such as starch and glycogen yielding glucose and maltose. It is the major form […]

Hepatic fructokinase (or ketohexokinase ) is an enzyme that catalyzes the phosphorylation of fructose to produce fructose-1-phosphate.ATP + Fru ADP + F1PATP + D-fructose → ADP + D-fructose-1-phosphate↑

Mannose-6 phosphate isomerase (MPI) alternately phosphomannose isomerase (PMI) (EC:5.3.1.8) is an enzyme which facilitates the interconversion of fructose 6-phosphate(F6P) and mannose-6-phosphate(M6P). Mannose-6-Phosphate Isomerase may also enable the synthesis of GDP-mannose […]

N-acetylglucosamine-6-sulfatase also known as glucosamine (N-acetyl)-6-sulfatase is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the GNS gene. This enzyme is deficient in Sanfilippo Syndrome type IIId. This enzyme catalyses […]

Alpha-N-acetylglucosaminidase (EC 3.2.1.50 alpha-acetylglucosaminidase N-acetyl-alpha-D-glucosaminidase N-acetyl-alpha-glucosaminidase alpha-D-2-acetamido-2-deoxyglucosidase) is a protein associated with Sanfilippo syndrome. It is an enzyme with system name alpha-N-acetyl-D-glucosaminide N-acetylglucosaminohydrolase.

N-acetylgalactosamine-6-sulfatase is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the GALNS gene.This gene encodes N-acetylgalactosamine-6-sulfatase which is a lysosomal exohydrolase required for the degradation of the glycosaminoglycans keratan sulfate […]
