Pendrin
Pendrin also known as sodium-independent chloride/iodide transporter is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SLC26A4 gene (solute carrier family 26 member 4).Pendrin is the protein which is […]
Tryptophan hydroxylase
Tryptophan hydroxylase (TPH) is an enzyme (EC 1.14.16.4) involved in the synthesis of the neurotransmitter serotonin. TPH catalyzes the following chemical reaction L-tryptophan + tetrahydrobiopterin + O2 5-Hydroxytryptophan + dihydrobiopterin […]

SUN domain
SUN (Sad1p UNC-84) domains are conserved C-terminal protein regions a few hundred amino acids long. SUN domains are usually found following a transmembrane domain and a less conserved region of […]
TLR2
Toll-like receptor 2 also known as TLR2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TLR2 gene. TLR2 has also been designated as CD282 (cluster of differentiation 282). […]
Indoleamine 23-dioxygenase
Indoleamine-pyrrole 23-dioxygenase (IDO or INDO EC 1.13.11.52) is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the IDO1 gene. This enzyme catalyzes the degradation of the essential amino acid L-tryptophan […]
