Lipoxygenases (EC 1.13.11.-) are a family of iron-containing enzymes that catalyse the dioxygenation of polyunsaturated fatty acids in lipids containing a ciscis-14- pentadiene structure. It catalyses the following reaction: fatty […]

The glucocorticoid receptor (GR or GCR) also known as NR3C1 (nuclear receptor subfamily 3 group C member 1) is the receptor to which cortisol and other glucocorticoids bind.The GR is […]

CD30 also known as TNFRSF8 is a cell membrane protein of the tumor necrosis factor receptor family and tumor marker.This receptor is expressed by activated but not by resting T […]

Kynureninase or L-Kynurenine hydrolase (KYNU) (EC 3.7.1.3) is a PLP dependent enzyme that catalyses the cleavage of kynurenine (Kyn) into anthranilic acid (Ant). It can also act on 3hKyn (to […]

H2 receptors are positively coupled to adenylate cyclase via Gs. It is a potent stimulant of cAMP production which leads to activation of Protein Kinase A. PKA functions to phosphorylate […]

Tissue factor also called platelet tissue factor factor III thromboplastin or CD142 is a protein present in subendothelial tissue and leukocytes necessary for the initiation of thrombin formation from the […]

The H1 receptor is a histamine receptor belonging to the family of Rhodopsin-like G-protein-coupled receptors. This receptor which is activated by the biogenic amine histamine is expressed throughout the body […]

Methionine synthase also known as MS MeSe MetH is responsible for the regeneration of methionine from homocysteine. In humans it is encoded by the MTR gene (5-methyltetrahydrofolate-homocysteine methyltransferase). Methionine synthase […]

A debranching enzyme is a molecule that helps facilitate the breakdown of glycogen which serves as a store of glucose in the body through glucosyltransferase and glucosidase activity. Together with […]

Growth/differentiation factor 9 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the GDF9 gene.Growth factors synthesized by ovarian somatic cells directly affect oocyte growth and function. Growth differentiation factor-9 […]
