4- Hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD) is an Fe(II)-containing non-heme oxygenase that catalyzes the second reaction in the catabolism of tyrosine – the conversion of 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate into homogentisate. HPPD is an enzyme […]

Human placental lactogen (hPL) also called human chorionic somatomammotropin (HCS) is a polypeptide placental hormone. Its structure and function is similar to that of human growth hormone. It modifies the […]

The prolactin receptor—encoded by a gene on Chromosome 5p13-14—interacts with the prolactin molecule as a transmembrane receptor. Thus it contains an extracellular region that binds prolactin a transmembrane region and […]

Succinyl coenzyme A synthetase (SCS also known as succinyl-CoA synthetase or succinate thiokinase or succinate-CoA ligase) is an enzyme that catalyzes the reversible reaction of succinyl-CoA to succinate. The enzyme […]

Interleukin 7 (IL-7) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the IL7 gene.IL-7 a hematopoietic growth factor secreted by stromal cells in the bone marrow and thymus. It […]

Carotenoid oxygenases are a family of enzymes involved in the cleavage of carotenoids to produce for example retinol commonly known as vitamin A.

Penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) are a group of proteins that are characterized by their affinity for and binding of penicillin. They are a normal constituent of many bacteria; the name just […]

INT-2 proto-oncogene protein also known as FGF-3 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the FGF3 gene.

Heparin-binding growth factor 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the FGF1 gene.The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) […]

Fibroblast growth factors or FGFs are a family of growth factors with members involved in angiogenesis wound healing embryonic development and various endocrine signaling pathways. The FGFs are heparin-binding proteins […]
