ZAP-70 (Zeta-chain-associated protein kinase 70) is a protein normally expressed near the surface membrane of T cells and natural killer cells. It is part of the T cell receptor and […]

Aspartic proteases are a family of protease enzymes that use an aspartate residue for catalysis of their peptide substrates. In general they have two highly conserved aspartates in the active […]

Lysyl oxidase (LOX) also known as protein-lysine 6-oxidase is a protein that in humans is encoded by the LOX gene. Its inhibition can cause lathyrism but at the same time […]

Presenilins are a family of related multi-pass transmembrane proteins that function as a part of the gamma-secretase intramembrane protease complex. They were first identified in screens for mutations causing early […]

Runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2) also known as core-binding factor subunit alpha-1 (CBF-alpha-1) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the RUNX2 gene. RUNX2 is a key transcription […]

p16 (also known as cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 2A multiple tumor suppressor 1 and as several other synonyms) is a tumor suppressor protein that in humans is encoded by the CDKN2A […]

HLA-C belongs to the MHC (human = HLA) class I heavy chain receptors. The C receptor is a heterodimer consisting of a HLA-C mature gene product and β2-microglobulin. The mature […]

HLA-A is a group of human leukocyte antigens (HLA) that are coded for by the HLA-A locus which is located at human chromosome 6p21.3. HLA is simply the major histocompatibility […]

SK channels (Small conductance calcium-activated potassium channels) are a subfamily of Ca2+-activated K+ channels. They are so called because of their small single channel conductance in the order of 10 […]

Emerin together with MAN1 is a LEM domain-containing integral protein of the inner nuclear membrane in vertebrates. The function of MAN1 is not extensively known but emerin is known to […]
