There are at least four known endothelin receptors ETA ETB1 ETB2 and ETC all of which are G protein-coupled receptors whose activation result in elevation of intracellular-free calcium.

Neurotensin is a 13 amino acid neuropeptide that is implicated in the regulation of luteinizing hormone and prolactin release and has significant interaction with the dopaminergic system.

Glucose transporter 1 (or GLUT1) also known as solute carrier family 2 facilitated glucose transporter member 1 (SLC2A1) is a uniporter protein that in humans is encoded by the SLC2A1 […]

The ankyrin repeat is a 33-residue motif in proteins consisting of two alpha helices separated by loops first discovered in signaling proteins in yeast Cdc10 and Drosophila Notch. Domains consisting […]

Bone morphogenetic protein receptor type II or BMPR2 is a serine/threonine receptor kinase. It binds Bone morphogenetic proteins members of the TGF beta superfamily of ligands which are involved in […]

Strabismus was originally identified as a Drosophila protein involved in planar cell polarity. Flies with mutated strabismus genes have altered development of omatidia in their eyes. Vertebrates have two Strabismus-related […]

Angiopoietin is part of a family of vascular growth factors that play a role in embryonic and postnatal angiogenesis. Angiopoietin signaling most directly corresponds with angiogenesis the process by which […]

CDK-activating kinase (CAK) activates the cyclin-CDK complex by phosphorylating threonine residue 160 in the CDK activation loop. CAK itself is a member of the Cdk family and functions as a […]

HLA class II histocompatibility antigen DR alpha chain is a protein that in humans is encoded by the HLA-DRA gene. HLA-DRA encodes the alpha subunit of HLA-DR. Unlike the alpha […]

HLA class II histocompatibility antigen DRB1-9 beta chain is a protein that in humans is encoded by the HLA-DRB1 gene. DRB1 encodes the most prevalent beta subunit of HLA-DR. It […]
