Heparin cofactor II
Heparin cofactor II (HCII) a protein encoded by the SERPIND1 gene is a coagulation factor that inhibits IIa and is a cofactor for heparin and dermatan sulfate (minor antithrombin). The […]
Sodium-chloride symporter
The sodium-chloride symporter (also known as Na+-Cl− cotransporter abbreviated as NCC or NCCT or as the thiazide-sensitive Na+-Cl− cotransporter or TSC for short) is a cotransporter in the kidney which […]
Na-K-Cl cotransporter
The Na-K-Cl cotransporter (NKCC) is a protein that aids in the active transport of sodium potassium and chloride into and out of cells. There are two varieties of this membrane […]
Asialoglycoprotein receptor
The asialoglycoprotein receptors are lectins which bind asialoglycoprotein glycoproteins from which a sialic acid has been removed to expose galactose residues. The receptors which are located on liver cells remove […]
Complement receptor 2
Complement receptor type 2 (Cr2) also known as complement C3d receptor Epstein-Barr virus receptor and CD21 (cluster of differentiation 21) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the […]
C3a receptor
The C3a receptor also known as complement component 3a receptor 1 (C3AR1) is a G protein-coupled receptor protein involved in the complement system.Although its official name implies it only binds […]
Integrin alpha M
Integrin alpha M (ITGAM) is one protein subunit that forms the heterodimeric integrin alpha-M beta-2 (αMβ2) molecule also known as macrophage-1 antigen (Mac-1) or complement receptor 3 (CR3). ITGAM is […]
Decay-accelerating factor
Complement decay-accelerating factor also known as CD55 or DAF is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CD55 gene.Decay accelerating factor is a 70 kDa membrane protein that […]
C4b-binding protein
C4b-binding protein (C4BP) is a protein involved in the complement system where it acts as inhibitor. C4BP has an octopus-like structure with a central stalk and seven branching alpha-chains.
