Adenine phosphoribosyltransferase is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the APRT gene.
Glutamate dehydrogenase 1
GLUD1 (Glutamate dehydrogenase 1) is a mitochondrial matrix enzyme with a key role in the nitrogen and glutamate (Glu) metabolism and the energy homeostasis. GLUD1 is expressed at high levels […]
Interleukin 13
Interleukin 13 (IL-13) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the IL13 gene. IL-13 was first cloned in 1993 and is located on chromosome 5q31 with a length […]
Complement component 5a
C5a is a protein fragment released from cleavage complement component C5 by protease C5-convertase into C5a and C5b fragments. C5b is important in late events of complement cascade whereas C5a […]
