Hepcidin is a protein that in humans is encoded by the HAMP gene.The product encoded by this gene is involved in the maintenance of iron homeostasis and it is necessary […]

Oligosaccharyltransferase or OST (EC 2.4.1.119) is a membrane protein complex that transfers a 14-sugar oligosaccharide from dolichol to nascent protein. It is a type of glycosyltransferase. The sugar Glc3Man9GlcNAc2 (where […]

FMR1 (fragile X mental retardation 1) is a human gene that codes for a protein called fragile X mental retardation protein or FMRP. This protein most commonly found in the […]

Angiogenin (Ang) also known as ribonuclease 5 is a small 123 amino acid protein that in humans is encoded by the ANG gene. Angiogenin is a potent stimulator of new […]

MEFV (Mediterranean fever) is a human gene that provides instructions for making a protein called pyrin (also known as marenostrin). Pyrin is produced in certain white blood cells (neutrophils eosinophils […]

Collagen type I alpha 1 also known as alpha-1 type I collagen is a protein that in humans is encoded by the COL1A1 gene. COL1A1 encodes the major component of […]

Disintegrins are a family of small proteins (45–84 amino acids in length) from viper venoms that function as potent inhibitors of both platelet aggregation and integrin-dependent cell adhesion.

A disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs 2 (ADAM-TS2) also known as procollagen I N-proteinase (PC I-NP) is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the ADAMTS2 gene.

This page links directly from the magnesium in biological systems page.Magnesium transporters are proteins that transport magnesium across the cell membrane. All forms of life require magnesium yet the molecular […]

ACADM (acyl-Coenzyme A dehydrogenase C-4 to C-12 straight chain) is a gene that provides instructions for making an enzyme called acyl-coenzyme A dehydrogenase that is important for breaking down (degrading) […]
