Colipase
Colipase is a protein co-enzyme required for optimal enzyme activity of pancreatic lipase. It is secreted by the pancreas in an inactive form procolipase which is activated in the intestinal […]
Tissue factor pathway inhibitor
Tissue factor pathway inhibitor (or TFPI) is a single-chain polypeptide which can reversibly inhibit Factor Xa (Xa). While Xa is inhibited the Xa-TFPI complex can subsequently also inhibit the FVIIa-tissue […]
Obestatin
Obestatin is a putative hormone that is potentially produced in the cells lining the stomach and small intestine of several mammals including humans. Obestatin was originally identified as an anorectic […]
DCDC2
Doublecortin domain-containing protein 2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the DCDC2 gene.
Band 3
Band 3 anion transport protein also known as anion exchanger 1 (AE1) or band 3 or solute carrier family 4 member 1 (SLC4A1) is a protein that in humans is […]
Collagen type II alpha 1
Collagen type II alpha 1 (primary osteoarthritis spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia congenital) also known as COL2A1 is a human gene that provides instructions for the production of the pro-alpha1(II) chain of type […]
Plectin
Plectin is a giant protein (c500 kDa) found in nearly all mammalian cells which acts as a link between the three main components of the cytoskeleton: actin microfilaments microtubules and […]
Interleukin 5
Interleukin 5 or IL-5 is an interleukin produced by T helper-2 cells and mast cells.
CD40 (protein)
CD40 is a costimulatory protein found on antigen presenting cells and is required for their activation. The binding of CD154 (CD40L) on TH cells to CD40 activates antigen presenting cells […]
