T-type calcium channel
T-type calcium channels are low-voltage activated calcium channels that open during membrane depolarization. These channels aid in mediating calcium influx into cells after an action potential or depolarizing signal. The […]
Vesicular acetylcholine transporter
The Vesicular acetylcholine transporter (VAChT) is a neurotransmitter transporter which is responsible for loading acetylcholine (ACh) into secretory organelles in neurons making acetylcholine available for secretion. It is encoded by […]
Formyl peptide receptor
The formyl peptide receptors (FPR) belong to a class of G protein-coupled receptors involved in chemotaxis. These receptors were originally identified by their ability to bind N-formyl peptides such as […]
Ribonuclease T1

Acetyl-CoA C-acyltransferase
The final step of beta oxidation is the cleavage of 3-ketoacyl CoA by the thiol group of another molecule of Coenzyme A. This reaction is catalyzed by Acetyl-CoA C-acyltransferase (or […]
Glycerol kinase
Glycerol kinase is a phosphotransferase enzyme involved in triglycerides and glycerophospholipids synthesis.Glycerol kinase catalyzes the transfer of a phosphate from ATP to glycerol thus forming glycerol phosphate (ATP + glycerol […]
Apolipoprotein H
Apolipoprotein H (Apo-H) previously known as (β2-glycoprotein I beta-2 glycoprotein I) is a multifunctional apolipoprotein. One of its functions is to bind cardiolipin. When bound the structure of cardiolipin and […]
Apolipoprotein D
Apolipoprotein D is a protein that in humans is encoded by the APOD gene.
Apolipoprotein C4
Apolipoprotein C-IV also known as apolipoprotein C4 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the APOC4 gene.
