In cell signalling Son of Sevenless (SOS) refers to a set of genes encoding guanine nucleotide exchange factors that act on the Ras subfamily of small GTPases.
Chimerin 1
Chimerin 1 (CHN1) also known as alpha-1-chimerin n-chimerin is a protein which in humans is encoded by the CHN1 gene.Chimerin 1 is a GTPase activating protein specific for RAC GTP-binding […]
Apoptosis-inducing factor
Apoptosis inducing factor is a flavoprotein.Apoptosis inducing factor is involved in initiating a caspase-independent pathway of apoptosis (positive intrinsic regulator of apoptosis) by causing DNA fragmentation and chromatin condensation. It […]
