Treacle protein
Treacle protein is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TCOF1 gene.This gene encodes a nucleolar protein with an LIS1 homology domain. The protein is involved in ribosomal […]
EP300
E1A binding protein p300 also known as EP300 or p300 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the EP300 gene. This protein regulates the activity of many genes […]
Thiopurine methyltransferase
Thiopurine methyltransferase or thiopurine S-methyltransferase (TPMT) is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the TPMT gene. A pseudogene for this locus is located on chromosome 18q.
CD44
The CD44 antigen is a cell-surface glycoprotein involved in cell–cell interactions cell adhesion and migration. In humans the CD44 antigen is encoded by the CD44 gene on Chromosome 11.
Beta-2 microglobulin
Beta-2 microglobulin β2 microglobulin also known as B2M is a component of MHC class I molecules which are present on all nucleated cells (excludes red blood cells). In humans the […]
CD31
Platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule (PECAM-1) also known as cluster of differentiation 31 (CD31) is a protein that in human is encoded by the PECAM1 gene found on chromosome 17. […]
Ferroportin
Ferroportin-1 also known as solute carrier family 40 member 1 (SLC40A1) or iron-regulated transporter 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SLC40A1 gene. Ferroportin is a […]
Hepcidin
Hepcidin is a peptide hormone produced by the liver. It was discovered in 2000 and appears to be the principal regulator of iron homeostasis in humans and other mammals. Hepcidin […]
Leukemia inhibitory factor
Leukemia inhibitory factor or LIF is an interleukin 6 class cytokine that affects cell growth by inhibiting differentiation. When LIF levels drop the cells differentiate.
