Actinidain (EC 3.4.22.14 actinidin Actinidia anionic protease proteinase A2 of Actinidia chinensis) is a type of cysteine protease enzyme found in fruits including kiwifruit (genus Actinidia) pineapple mango banana and […]

Barbiturase (EC 3.5.2.1) is a zinc containing amidohydrolase. Its systemic name is barbiturate amidohydrolase (3-oxo-3-ureidopropanoate-forming). Barbiturase acts as a catalyst in the second step of oxidative pyrimidine degradation promoting the […]

Ficain (EC 3.4.22.3 ficin debricin higueroxyl delabarre) is an enzyme that is derived from figs latex. It is of a family of proteases known as the cysteine endopeptidases a group […]

The Ski protein is a nuclear protooncoprotein that is associated with tumors at high cellular concentrations. Ski has been shown to interfere with normal cellular functioning by both directly impeding […]

Sucrose phosphorylase (E.C. 2.4.1.7) is an important enzyme in the metabolism of sucrose and regulation of other metabolic intermediates. Sucrose phosphorylase is in the class of hexosyltransferases. More specifically it […]

Heat shock proteins are generally responsible for preventing damage to proteins in response to high levels of heat. Heat shock proteins are classified into six major families based on their […]

The mannose 6-phophate receptors (MPRs) are transmembrane glycoproteins that target enzymes to lysosomes in vertebrates. There are 2 distinct MPRs: the cation-independent mannose 6-phosphate receptor (CI-MPR) and the cation-dependent mannose […]

AIR synthetase is the fifth enzyme in the de novo synthesis of purine nucleotides. It catalyzes the reaction to form 5-aminoimidizole ribonucleotide (AIR) from formylglycinamidine-ribonucleotide FGAM. This reaction closes the […]

Pyridoxine 5’-phosphate oxidase is an enzyme that catalyzes several reactions in the vitamin B6 metabolism pathway. Pyridoxine-5-P oxidase catalyzes the terminal step (also the rate-limiting step) in vitamin B6 metabolism […]

ACADSB is a human gene that encodes short/branched chain specific acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (SBCAD) an enzyme in the acyl CoA dehydrogenase family.It can cause short/branched-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency.
