Sialyltransferases are enzymes that transfer sialic acid to nascent oligosaccharide.Each sialyltransferase is specific for a particular sugar substrate. Sialyltransferases add sialic acid to the terminal portions of the sialylated glycolipids […]

Homeodomain fold
The homeodomain fold is a protein structural domain that binds DNA or RNA and is thus commonly found in transcription factors. The fold consists of a 60-amino acid helix-turn-helix structure […]
MBD1
Methyl-CpG-binding domain protein 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MBD1 gene. The protein encoded by MBD1 binds to methylated sequences in DNA and thereby influences […]
Tumor necrosis factor receptor
A tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNFR) or death receptor is a trimeric cytokine receptor that binds tumor necrosis factors (TNF). The receptor cooperates with an adaptor protein (such as TRADD […]
Interleukin-1 receptor
Interleukin-1 receptor (IL-1R) is a cytokine receptor which binds interleukin 1. Two forms of the receptor exist. The type I receptor is primarily responsible for transmitting the inflammatory effects of […]
Villin
Villin is a 92.5 kDa tissue-specific actin-binding protein associated with the actin core bundle of the brush border. Villin contains multiple gelsolin-like domains capped by a small (8.5 kDa) headpiece […]
HBB
Beta globin (HBB β-globin or haemoglobin beta or preferably haemoglobin subunit beta) is a globin protein which along with alpha globin (HBA) makes up the most common form of hemoglobin […]
Interleukin-3 receptor
The interleukin-3 receptor (also known as CD123 antigen) is a molecule found on cells which helps transmit the signal of interleukin-3 a soluble cytokine important in the immune system. The […]
Vitamin K epoxide reductase
Vitamin K epoxide reductase (VKOR) is an enzyme (EC 1.1.4.1) that reduces vitamin K after it has been oxidised in the carboxylation of glutamic acid residues in blood coagulation enzymes. […]
CD1D
CD1D is a human gene which encodes the protein CD1d a member of the CD1 (cluster of differentiation 1) family of glycoproteins expressed on the surface of various human antigen-presenting […]
