Neurotrophin-3 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the NTF3 gene.The protein encoded by this gene NT-3 is a neurotrophic factor in the NGF (Nerve Growth Factor) family […]

This enzyme is not to be confused with Bisphosphoglycerate mutase which catalyzes the conversion of 13-bisphosphoglycerate to 23-bisphosphoglycerate.Phosphoglycerate mutase (PGM) is an enzyme that catalyzes step 8 of glycolysis. It […]

Bisphosphoglycerate mutase (BPGM) is an enzyme unique to erythrocytes and placental cells. It is responsible for the catalytic synthesis of 23-Bisphosphoglycerate (23-BPG) from 13-bisphosphoglycerate. BPGM also has a mutase and […]

Phosphoglycerate kinase (EC 2.7.2.3) (PGK) is an enzyme that catalyzes the reversible transfer of a phosphate group from 13-bisphosphoglycerate (13-BPG) to ADP producing 3-phosphoglycerate (3-PG) and ATP. Like all kinases […]

Oxaloacetate decarboxylase is a carboxy-lyase involved in the conversion of oxaloacetate into pyruvate.It is categorized under EC 4.1.1.3.In some bacteria this enzyme is a trimer composed of alpha beta and […]

Peptide YY (PYY) also known as peptide tyrosine tyrosine or pancreatic peptide YY3-36 is a peptide that in humans is encoded by the PPY gene. Peptide YY is a short […]

Lipotropin is a hormone produced by the cleavage of pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC). The anterior pituitary gland produces the pro-hormone POMC which is then cleaved again to form adrenocorticotropin (ACTH) and β-lipotropin […]

Neuropeptide Y receptors are a class of G-protein coupled receptors which are activated by the closely related peptide hormones neuropeptide Y peptide YY and pancreatic polypeptide. These receptors are involved […]

Calcitonin gene related peptide (CGRP) is a member of the calcitonin family of peptides which in humans exists in two forms α-CGRP and β-CGRP. α-CGRP is a 37-amino acid peptide […]

Apolipoprotein C-I is a protein component of lipoproteins that in humans is encoded by the APOC1 gene.
