Extracellular signal-regulated kinases
In molecular biology extracellular-signal-regulated kinases (ERKs) or classical MAP kinases are widely expressed protein kinase intracellular signalling molecules that are involved in functions including the regulation of meiosis mitosis and […]
Cholesterol side-chain cleavage enzyme
Cholesterol side-chain cleavage enzyme is commonly referred to as P450scc where scc is an acronym for side-chain cleavage. P450scc is a mitochondrial enzyme that catalyzes conversion of cholesterol to pregnenolone. […]
Alcohol sulfotransferase
Alcohol sulfotransferase is an enzyme that catalyzes the sulfate conjugation of primary and secondary alcohols including many hormones neurotransmitters drugs and xenobiotic compounds.
3-beta-HSD
3-β-HSD (or 3-β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase/Δ-5-4 isomerase) (EC 1.1.1.145) is an enzyme that catalyzes the synthesis of progesterone from pregnenolone 17-hydroxyprogesterone from 17-hydroxypregnenolone and androstenedione from dehydroepiandrosterone in the adrenal gland. It […]
GPVI
Glycoprotein VI (platelet) also known as GPVI is a glycoprotein receptor for collagen which is expressed in platelets. In humans glycoprotein VI is encoded by the GPVI gene.
Neutrophil elastase
Neutrophil elastase (EC 3.4.21.37 leukocyte elastase ELANE ELA2 elastase 2 neutrophil elaszym serine elastase) is a serine proteinase in the same family as chymotrypsin and has broad substrate specificity.
P14arf
p14ARF is an alternate reading frame (ARF) product of the CDKN2A locus. Both p16INK4a and p14ARF are involved in cell cycle regulation. p14ARF inhibits mdm2 thus promoting p53 which promotes […]
