The luteinizing hormone/choriogonadotropin receptor (LHCGR) also lutropin/choriogonadotropin receptor (LCGR) or luteinizing hormone receptor (LHR) is a transmembrane receptor found predominantly in the ovary and testis but also many extragonadal organs […]

Ferrochelatase (FECH protoheme ferrolyase) is an enzyme that catalyses the terminal (eighth) step in the biosynthesis of heme converting protoporphyrin IX into heme. It catalyses the reaction:protoporphyrin + Fe++ ↔ […]

Coproporphyrinogen-III oxidase mitochondrial is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the CPOX gene. A genetic defect in the enzyme results in a reduced production of heme in animals. […]

Uroporphyrinogen III synthase EC 4.2.1.75 is an enzyme involved in the metabolism of the cyclic tetrapyrrole compound porphyrin. It is involved in the conversion of hydroxymethyl bilane into uroporphyrinogen III. […]

Porphobilinogen deaminase (EC 2.5.1.61 Older sources categorize it under EC 4.3.1.8) also known as hydroxymethylbilane synthase or uroporphyrinogen I synthase is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the […]

Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP4) also known as adenosine deaminase complexing protein 2 or CD26 (cluster of differentiation 26) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the DPP4 gene.

In enzymology a Hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA reductase (EC 1.1.1.88) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction (R)-mevalonate + CoA + 2 NAD+ 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA + 2 NADH + 2 H+The 3 substrates […]

The follicle-stimulating hormone receptor or FSH receptor (FSHR) is a transmembrane receptor that interacts with the follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and represents a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR). Its activation is necessary […]

Transforming growth factor beta 1 or TGF-β1 is a polypeptide member of the transforming growth factor beta superfamily of cytokines. It is a secreted protein that performs many cellular functions […]

Chordin is a bone morphogenetic protein antagonist composed of four small cysteine-rich domains whose function is not known. Chordin was originally identified in Xenopus laevis as a key developmental protein […]
