Talin is a high-molecular-weight cytoskeletal protein concentrated at regions of cell–substratum contact and in lymphocytes at cell–cell contacts. Discovered in 1983 by Keith Burridge and colleagues talin is a ubiquitous […]

The related to receptor tyrosine kinase (RYK) gene encodes the protein Ryk.The protein encoded by this gene is an atypical member of the family of growth factor receptor protein tyrosine […]

H2AFX (H2A histone family member X) is one of several genes coding for histone H2A. In humans and other eukaryotes the DNA is wrapped around histone-groups consisting of core histones […]

CHEK2 is the official symbol for the human gene CHK2 checkpoint homolog. It is located on the long (q) arm of chromosome 22.

Complement component 8 is a protein involved in the complement system. A hereditary deficiency of C8 can result in increased susceptibility to Neisseria infections such as meningitis and gonorrhea.

Cytochrome P450 2B6 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the CYP2B6 gene. CYP2B6 is a member of the Cytochrome P450 group of enzymes. Along with CYP2A6 it […]

The homing endonucleases are a collection of endonucleases encoded either as freestanding genes within introns as fusions with host proteins or as self-splicing inteins. They catalyze the hydrolysis of genomic […]

Lysins also known as endolysins or murein hydrolases are hydrolytic enzymes produced by bacteriophages in order to cleave the host’s cell wall during the final stage of the lytic cycle. […]

TEV protease (also called Tobacco Etch Virus nuclear inclusion a endopeptidase) is a highly sequence-specific cysteine protease from Tobacco Etch Virus (TEV). It is a member of the PA clan […]

Transaldolase is an enzyme (EC 2.2.1.2) of the non-oxidative phase of the pentose phosphate pathway. In humans transaldolase is encoded by the TALDO1 gene.The following chemical reaction is catalyzed by […]
