Phospholipase B
Phospholipase B also known as lysophospholipase is an enzyme with a combination of both PLA1 and PLA2 activities; that is it can cleave acyl chains from both the sn-1 and […]
ATP-sensitive potassium channel
An ATP-sensitive potassium channel (or KATP channel) is a type of potassium channel that is gated by intracellular nucleotides ATP and ADP. ATP-sensitive potassium channels are composed of Kir6.x-type subunits […]
Electroneutral cation-Cl
In molecular biology the electroneutral cation-Cl (electroneutral potassium-chloride cotransporter) family of proteins are a family of solute carrier proteins. This family includes the products of the Human genes: SLC12A1 SLC12A1 […]
Delta sleep-inducing peptide
Delta sleep-inducing peptide abbreviated DSIP is a neuropeptide that when infused into the mesodiencephalic ventricle ofrecipient rabbits induces spindle and delta EEG activity and reduced motor activities.Its aminoacid sequence is […]
Olfactory marker protein
In molecular biology olfactory marker protein is a protein involved in signal transduction.It is a highly expressed cytoplasmic protein found in mature olfactory sensory receptor neurons of all vertebrates. OMP […]
P38 mitogen-activated protein kinases
P38 mitogen-activated protein kinases are a class of mitogen-activated protein kinases that are responsive to stress stimuli such as cytokines ultraviolet irradiation heat shock and osmotic shock and are involved […]
Mitogen-activated protein kinase 9
Mitogen-activated protein kinase 9 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the MAPK9 gene.The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the MAP kinase family. MAP […]
C-Jun N-terminal kinases
c-Jun N-terminal kinases (JNKs) were originally identified as kinases that bind and phosphorylate c-Jun on Ser-63 and Ser-73 within its transcriptional activation domain. They belong to the mitogen-activated protein kinase […]
Paxillin
Paxillin is a signal transduction adaptor protein discovered in 1990 in the laboratory of Keith Burridge. The C-terminal region of paxillin contains four LIM domains that target paxillin to focal […]
