Paracaspases (human: MALT1) are proteins related to caspases present in animals and slime mold in contrast to metacaspases which are present in plants fungi and protists.Paracaspases are more similar to […]

Pore-forming toxins (PFTs) are protein exotoxins typically (but not exclusively) produced by bacteria such as C.septicum and S.aureus. They are frequently cytotoxic (i.e. they kill cells) as they create unregulated […]

Steroid 11β-hydroxylase is a steroid hydroxylase found in the zona fasciculata and zona reticularis. Named officially the cytochrome P450 11B1 mitochondrial it is a protein that in humans is encoded […]

Steroid 21-hydroxylase is a cytochrome P450 enzyme that is involved with the biosynthesis of the steroid hormones aldosterone and cortisol.In humans 21-Hydroxylase is encoded by the gene CYP21A2.

Myophosphorylase is the muscle isoform of the enzyme glycogen phosphorylase. This enzyme helps break down glycogen (a form of stored carbohydrate) into glucose-1-phosphate (not glucose) so that it can be […]

The sigma-1 receptor (σ1R) one of two sigma receptor subtypes is a chaperone protein at the Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) that modulates calcium signaling through the IP3 receptor. In humans the […]

Frataxin is a protein that in humans is encoded by the FXN gene.Frataxin is localized to the mitochondrion. The function of frataxin is not entirely clear but it seems to […]

Teneurins are transmembrane proteins. The name refers to ten-a (from tenascin-like protein accessory) and neurons the primary site of teneurin expression. Ten-m refers to tenascin-like protein major are type II […]

The family of Heterochromatin Protein 1 (HP1) (Chromobox Homolog CBX) consists of highly conserved proteins which have important functions in the cell nucleus.

C-X-C motif chemokine 5 or ENA-78 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CXCL5 gene.
