KASH domains are conserved C-terminal protein regions less than ~30 amino acids. KASH is an acronym for Klarsicht ANC-1 Syne Homology. KASH domains always follow a transmembrane domain. Most proteins […]

Neuronal calcium sensor-1 (NCS-1) also known as frequenin homolog (Drosophila) (freq) is a protein that is encoded by the FREQ gene in humans. NCS-1 is a member of the neuronal […]

The lipocalins are a family of proteins which transport small hydrophobic molecules such as steroids bilins retinoids and lipids. They share limited regions of sequence homology and a common tertiary […]

In enzymology aldose reductase (or aldehyde reductase) (EC 1.1.1.21) is an NADPH-dependent oxidoreductase that catalyzes the reduction of a variety of aldehydes and carbonyls including monosaccharides. It is primarily known […]

Cholesterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase also known as cholesterol 7-alpha-monooxygenase or cytochrome P450 7A1 (CYP7A1) is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the CYP7A1 gene.
