In medicine glycoprotein IIb/IIIa (GPIIb/IIIa also known as integrin αIIbβ3) is an integrin complex found on platelets. It is a receptor for fibrinogen and aids in platelet activation. The complex […]

The gonadotropin-releasing hormone receptor (GNRHR) also known as the luteinizing hormone releasing hormone receptor (LHRHR) is a member of the seven-transmembrane G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) family.

Biliverdin reductase (BVR) is an enzyme (EC 1.3.1.24) found in all tissues under normal conditions but especially in reticulo-macrophages of the liver and spleen. BVR facilitates the conversion of biliverdin […]

MuSK (for Muscle-Specific Kinase) is a receptor tyrosine kinase required for the formation of the neuromuscular junction. It is activated by a nerve-derived proteoglycan called agrin.

Phosphatidylinositol-45-bisphosphate 3-kinase catalytic subunit delta isoform also known as phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) delta isoform or p110δ is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the PIK3CD gene.p110δ regulates immune […]

Poneratoxin is a paralyzing neurotoxic peptide from the bullet ant Paraponera clavata that affects voltage-dependent sodium ion channels and blocks the synaptic transmission in the central nervous system. It is […]

Aldehyde dehydrogenases (EC 1.2.1.3) are a group of enzymes that catalyse the oxidation (dehydrogenation) of aldehydes. To date nineteen ALDH genes have been identified within the human genome. These genes […]

The enzyme citrate synthase (E.C. 2.3.3.1 [previously 4.1.3.7]) exists in nearly all living cells and stands as a pace-making enzyme in the first step of the Citric Acid Cycle (or […]

Enolase also known as phosphopyruvate hydratase is a metalloenzyme responsible for the catalysis of the conversion of 2-phosphoglycerate (2-PG) to phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) the ninth and penultimate step of glycolysis. Enolase […]

The phosphatidylinositol-45-bisphosphate 3-kinase catalytic subunit alpha (the HUGO-approved official symbol = PIK3CA; HGNC ID HGNC:8975) also called p110α protein is a class I PI 3-kinase catalytic subunit. The human p110α […]
