A colicin is a type of bacteriocin produced by and toxic to some strains of Escherichia coli. Colicins are released into the environment to reduce competition from other bacterial strains. […]

In molecular biology ORC or origin recognition complex is a multi-subunit DNA binding complex (6 subunits) that binds in all eukaryotes in an ATP-dependent manner to origins of replication. The […]

Recombination activating gene 2 also known as RAG-2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the RAG2 gene.

Recombination activating gene 1 also known as RAG-1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the RAG1 gene.The protein encoded by this gene is involved in activation of […]

An innexin is a member of a family of proteins that create gap junctions in invertebrates. The innexin proteins have four transmembrane spanning units and like the vertebrate connexin gap […]

Pannexins (from Greek ‘παν’ — all and from Latin ‘nexus’ — connection) are a family of vertebrate proteins identified by their homology to the invertebrate innexins.

Orosomucoid (ORM) or alpha-1-acid glycoprotein (AGP or AAG) is an acute phase (acute phase protein) plasma alpha-globulin glycoprotein and is modulated by two polymorphic genes. It is synthesized primarily in […]

Eosinophil peroxidase is a haloperoxidase enzyme that in humans is encoded by the EPX gene. The enzyme is a heterodimeric 71-77 kD peroxidase consisting of a heavier glycosylated chain and […]

N-myc proto-oncogene protein also known as N-Myc or basic helix-loop-helix protein 37 (bHLHe37) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MYCN gene.

Caldesmon is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CALD1 gene.Caldesmon is a calmodulin binding protein. Like calponin or troponin caldesmon tonically inhibits the ATPase activity of myosin […]
