Pilin
Pilin refers to a class of fibrous proteins that are found in pilus structures in bacteria. Bacterial pili are used in the exchange of genetic material during bacterial conjugation and […]
D-amino acid oxidase
D-amino acid oxidase (DAAO; also DAO OXDA DAMOX) is a peroxisomal enzyme containing FAD as cofactor that is expressed in a wide range of species from yeasts to human. It […]
DNA clamp
A DNA clamp also known as a sliding clamp is a protein fold that serves as a processivity-promoting factor in DNA replication. As a critical component of the DNA polymerase […]
RANKL
Not to be confused with RANK the osteoclast cell-surface receptor that binds to RANKL.Receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand (RANKL) also known as tumor necrosis factor ligand superfamily member […]
Subtilisin
Subtilisin is a non-specific protease (a protein-digesting enzyme) initially obtained from Bacillus subtilis.Subtilisins belong to subtilases a group of serine proteases that initiate the nucleophilic attack on the peptide (amide) […]
Ribosomal protein
A ribosomal protein is any of the proteins that in conjunction with rRNA make up the ribosomal subunits involved in the cellular process of translation. A large part of the […]
Rab geranylgeranyltransferase
Rab geranylgeranyltransferase also known as geranylgeranyltransferase II is one of the three prenyltransferases. It transfers (usually) two geranylgeranyl groups to the cystein(s) at the C-terminus of Rab proteins.The C-terminus of […]
Geranylgeranyltransferase type 1
Geranylgeranyltransferase type 1 or simply geranylgeranyltransferase is one of the three enzymes in the prenyltransferase group. In specific terms Geranylgeranyltransferase (GGTase 1) adds a 20-carbon isoprenoid called a geranylgeranyl group […]
Tamm–Horsfall protein
The Tamm–Horsfall glycoprotein (THP) also known as uromodulin is a glycoprotein that in humans is encoded by the UMOD gene. Uromodulin is the most abundant protein excreted in ordinary urine.
