The death-effector domain (DED) is a protein interaction domain found to regulate a variety of cellular signalling pathways. The DED domain is found in inactive procaspases (cysteine proteases) and proteins […]

Apyrase (EC 3.6.1.5 ATP-diphosphatase adenosine diphosphatase ADPase ATP diphosphohydrolase) is a calcium-activated plasma membrane-bound enzyme (magnesium can also activate it) (EC 3.6.1.5) that catalyses the hydrolysis of ATP to yield […]

The STAT protein (Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription or Signal Transduction And transcription) regulates many aspects of growth survival and differentiation in cells. The transcription factors of this family […]

Glucose transporter 2 (GLUT2) also known as solute carrier family 2 (facilitated glucose transporter) member 2 (SLC2A2) is a transmembrane carrier protein that enables protein facilitated glucose movement across cell […]

Ubiquitin-like modifier activating enzyme 1 (UBA1) is an enzyme which in humans is encoded by the UBA1 gene.

Insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF-2) is one of three protein hormones that share structural similarity to insulin. The MeSH definition reads: A well-characterized neutral peptide believed to be secreted by […]

Glutamine synthetase (GS) (EC 6.3.1.2) is an enzyme that plays an essential role in the metabolism of nitrogen by catalyzing the condensation of glutamate and ammonia to form glutamine:Glutamate + […]

Phosphofructokinase 2 (PFK2) or fructose bisphosphatase 2 (FBPase2) is an enzyme responsible for regulating the rates of glycolysis and gluconeogenesis in the human body. It is a homodimer of 55 […]

von Hippel–Lindau binding protein 1 (VBP1) also known as prefoldin 3 is a chaperone protein that binds to von Hippel–Lindau protein and transports it from perinuclear granules to the nucleus […]

Farnesyltransferase (EC 2.5.1.58) is one of the three enzymes in the prenyltransferase group. Farnesyltransferase (FTase) adds a 15-carbon isoprenoid called a farnesyl group to proteins bearing a CaaX motif: a […]
