CDKL5 is a gene that provides instructions for making a protein called cyclin-dependent kinase-like 5 also known as serine/threonine kinase 9 (STK9) that is essential for normal brain development. Although […]

B-lymphocyte antigen CD19 also known as CD19 (Cluster of Differentiation 19) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CD19 gene. It is found on the surface of […]

A chromodomain (chromatin organization modifier ) is a protein structural domain of about 40-50 amino acid residues commonly found in proteins associated with the remodeling and manipulation of chromatin. The […]

Phenylethanolamine N-methyltransferase (PNMT) is an enzyme found in the adrenal medulla that converts norepinephrine (noradrenaline) to epinephrine (adrenaline).PNMT is positively influenced by cortisol which is produced in the adrenal cortex.S-adenosyl-L-methionine […]

Palate lung and nasal epithelium clone protein (PLUNC) is a gene encoding a secretory protein. It is also called Secretory protein in upper respiratory tracts (SPURT). In humans it is […]

ADAM metallopeptidase domain 17 (ADAM17) also called TACE (tumor necrosis factor-α-converting enzyme) is a 70-kDa enzyme that belongs to the ADAM protein family of disintegrins and metalloproteases.

Neurokinin A formerly known as Substance K is a neurologically active peptide translated from the pre-protachykinin gene. Neurokinin A has many excitatory effects on mammalian nervous systems and is also […]

The PHD finger (Plant Homeo Domain) was discovered in 1993 as a Cys4-His-Cys3 motif in the homeodomain protein HAT3 in Arabidopsis thaliana. The PHD finger motif resembles the metal binding […]

Sterol carrier proteins (also known as nonspecific lipid transfer proteins) is a family of proteins that transfer steroids and probably also phospholipids and gangliosides between cellular membranes. These proteins are […]

CRAL-TRIO domain is a protein structural domain that binds small lipophilic molecules. This domain is named after cellular retinaldehyde-binding protein (CRALBP) and TRIO guanine exchange factor. CRALB protein carries 11-cis-retinol […]
