Uroporphyrinogen decarboxylase also known as UROD is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the UROD gene.
Krüppel associated box
The Krüppel associated box (KRAB) domain is a category of transcriptional repression domains present in approximately 400 human zinc finger protein-based transcription factors (KRAB zinc finger proteins). The KRAB domain […]
Human serum albumin
Human serum albumin is the most abundant protein in human blood plasma. It is produced in the liver. Albumin constitutes about half of the blood serum protein. It is soluble […]
Sp1 transcription factor
Transcription factor Sp1 also known as specificity protein 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SP1 gene.
Shaker gene
The shaker (Sh) gene when mutated causes a variety of atypical behaviors in the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster. Under ether anesthesia the fly’s legs will shake (hence the name); even […]
