The ANTH domain is a membrane binding domain that shows weak specificity for PtdIns(45)P2. It was found in AP180 (a.k.a. CALM) endocytotic accessory protein that has been implicated in the […]

BAR (Bin–Amphiphysin–Rvs) domains are highly conserved protein dimerisation domains that occur in many proteins involved in membrane dynamics in a cell. The BAR domain is banana shaped and binds to […]

Bruton’s tyrosine kinase (abbreviated Btk or BTK) is a type of kinase enzyme implicated in the primary immunodeficiency disease X-linked agammaglobulinemia (Bruton’s agammaglobulinemia). Its exact mechanism of action remains unknown […]

Interleukin 11 (IL-11) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the IL11 gene.IL-11 is a multifunctional cytokine first isolated in 1990 from bone marrow-derived stromal cells. It is […]

Collagen alpha-1 (XXVII) chain (COL27A1) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the COL27A1 gene.COL27A1 is a type XXVII collagen. It was discovered by James Pace. This gene […]

Protein kinase RNA-activated also known as protein kinase R (PKR) interferon-induced double-stranded RNA-activated protein kinase or eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2-alpha kinase 2 (EIF2AK2) is an enzyme that in humans […]

Orotidine 5’-phosphate decarboxylase (OMP decarboxylase) or orotidylate decarboxylase is an enzyme involved in pyrimidine biosynthesis. It catalyzes the decarboxylation of orotidine monophosphate (OMP) to form uridine monophosphate (UMP). The function […]

Azoospermia factor (AZF) refers to one of several proteins or their genes which are coded from the AZF region on the human male Y chromosome. Deletions in this region are […]

Aspartokinase or aspartate kinase is an enzyme that catalyzes the phosphorylation of the amino acid aspartate. This reaction is the first step in the biosynthesis of three essential amino acids: […]

DUF1220 is a protein domain of unknown function that shows a striking human lineage-specific (HLS) increase in copy number and may be important to human brain evolution. The copy number […]
