Cytochrome P450 family 1 member A1
Cytochrome P450 family 1 subfamily A polypeptide 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CYP1A1 gene. The protein is a member of the cytochrome P450 superfamily […]
Urocortin
Urocortin is a protein that in humans is encoded by the UCN gene.This gene is a member of the sauvagine/corticotropin-releasing factor/urotensin I family. It is structurally related to the corticotropin-releasing […]
PDZ domain
The PDZ domain is a common structural domain of 80-90 amino-acids found in the signaling proteins of bacteria yeast plants viruses and animals. PDZ is an acronym combining the first […]
Inositol monophosphatase
Inositol monophosphatase commonly referred to as IMPase is an enzyme of the phosphodiesterase family of enzymes. It is involved in the phosphophatidylinositol [PI] signaling pathway which affects a wide array […]
Furin
Furin is a protein that in humans is encoded by the FURIN gene. Some proteins are inactive when they are first synthesized and must have sections deleted in order to […]
N-Acetylglutamate synthase
N-acetylglutamate synthase (NAGS) is an enzyme that catalyses the production of N-acetylglutamate (NAG) from glutamate and acetyl-CoA.NAGS a member of the N-acetyltransferase family of enzymes is present in both prokaryotes […]
Vasopressin receptor
The actions of vasopressin are mediated by stimulation of tissue-specific G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) called vasopressin receptors that are classified into V1 V2 and V3 subtypes. These three subtypes differ […]
IL1B
Interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β) also known as catabolin is a cytokine protein that in humans is encoded by the IL1B gene. IL-1β precursor is cleaved by caspase 1 (interleukin 1 beta […]
Ku (protein)
Ku is a protein that binds to DNA double-strand break ends and is required for the non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) pathway of DNA repair. Ku is evolutionarily conserved from bacteria […]
