Platelet-derived growth factor receptor
Platelet-derived growth factor receptors (PDGF-R) are cell surface tyrosine kinase receptors for members of the platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) family. PDGF subunits -A and -B are important factors regulating cell […]
Parathyroid hormone receptor
There are two known parathyroid hormone receptors in mammals termed PTH1R and PTH2R. These receptors bind parathyroid hormone and are members of the GPCR family of transmembrane proteins. parathyroid hormone […]
GNAS complex locus
GNAS complex locus also known as GNAS is a protein which in humans is encoded by the GNAS gene. The protein encoded by this gene is the stimulatory G-protein alpha […]
Somatostatin receptor
There are five known somatostatin receptors: SST1 (SSTR1) SST2 (SSTR2) SST3 (SSTR3) SST4 (SSTR4) SST5 (SSTR5)All are G protein-coupled seven transmembrane receptors.
ACVR1
Activin A receptor type I (ACVR1) is a protein which in humans is encoded by the ACVR1 gene; also known as ALK-2 (activin receptor-like kinase-2).
CLN3
Battenin is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CLN3 gene located on chromosome 16.
ACVR1B
Activin receptor type-1B is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ACVR1B gene.ACVR1B or ALK-4 acts as a transducer of activin or activin like ligands (e.g. inhibin) signals. […]
ACVR1C
The activin A receptor also known as ACVR1C or ALK-7 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ACVR1C gene. ACVR1C is a type I receptor for the […]
Constitutive androstane receptor
