Caspase 4 is an enzyme that proteolytically cleaves other proteins at an aspartic acid residue and belongs to a family of cysteine proteases called caspases. The function of caspase 4 […]

Arachidonate 5-lipoxygenase also known as 5-lipoxygenase 5-LOX or 5-LO is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the ALOX5 gene. Arachidonate 5-lipoxygenase is a member of the lipoxygenase family […]

Wilson disease protein (also called ATP7B full name ATPase Cu++ transporting beta polypeptide) is an ATPase that transports copper.This gene is a member of the P-type cation transport ATPase family […]

N-Acetylserotonin O-methyltransferase also known as ASMT is an enzyme that catalyzes the final reaction in melatonin biosynthesis converting Normelatonin to melatonin. This reaction is embedded in the more general tryptophan […]

Fructokinase (/fruc•to•ki•nase/ [-ki´nas]) (EC 2.7.1.4) also known as D-fructokinase or D-fructose (D-mannose) kinase is an enzyme of the liver intestine and kidney cortex. Fructokinase is in a family of enzymes […]

L-Arginine:glycine amidinotransferase (AGAT; EC 2.1.4.1) is the enzyme that catalyses the transfer of an amidino group from L-arginine to glycine. The products are L-ornithine and glycocyamine also known as guanidinoacetate […]

Pantothenate kinase (EC 2.7.1.33 PanK; CoaA) is the first enzyme in the Coenzyme A biosynthetic pathway. It phosphorylates pantothenate (vitamin B5) to form 4′-phosphopantothenate.

Chlorophyllase (klawr-uh-fil-eys) is the key enzyme in chlorophyll metabolism. It is a membrane protein that is commonly known as Chlase (EC 3.1.1.14 CLH) and systematically known as chlorophyll chlorophyllidohydrolase. Chlorophyllase […]

X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis protein (XIAP) also known as inhibitor of apoptosis protein 3 (IAP3) and baculoviral IAP repeat-containing protein 4 (BIRC) is a protein that stops apoptotic cell death. […]

Caspase 2 also known as CASP2 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the CASP2 gene. CASP2 orthologs have been identified in nearly all mammals for which complete […]
