Triosephosphate isomerase
Triose-phosphate isomerase (TPI or TIM) is an enzyme (EC 5.3.1.1) that catalyzes the reversible interconversion of the triose phosphate isomers dihydroxyacetone phosphate and D-glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate.Compound C00111 at KEGG Pathway Database.Enzyme […]
ADAMTS13
ADAMTS13 (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with a thrombospondin type 1 motif member 13)—also known as von Willebrand factor-cleaving protease (VWFCP)—is a zinc-containing metalloprotease enzyme that cleaves von Willebrand factor (vWf) […]
Brazzein
Brazzein is a sweet-tasting protein extracted from the West African fruit of the climbing plant Oubli (Pentadiplandra brazzeana Baillon). It was first isolated as an enzyme by University of Wisconsin–Madison […]
Enteropeptidase
Enteropeptidase (also called enterokinase) is an enzyme produced by cells of the duodenum and involved in human and animal digestion. It is secreted from intestinal glands (the crypts of Lieberkühn) […]
GABAA-rho receptor
The GABAA-rho receptor (previously known as the GABAC receptor) is a subclass of GABAA receptors composed entirely of rho (ρ) subunits. GABAA receptors including those of the ρ-subclass are ligand-gated […]
L-gulonolactone oxidase
L-gulonolactone oxidase (EC 1.1.3.8) is an enzyme that produces vitamin C but is non-functional in humans and some other primates. It catalyzes the reaction of D-glucuronolactone (also known as L-gulono-14-lactone) […]
NF-κB
NF-κB (nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells) is a protein complex that controls transcription of DNA. NF-κB is found in almost all animal cell types and is involved in […]
Xylanase
Xylanase (EC 3.2.1.8 endo-(1->4)-beta-xylan 4-xylanohydrolase endo-14-xylanase endo-14-beta-xylanase beta-14-xylanase endo-14-beta-D-xylanase 14-beta-xylan xylanohydrolase beta-xylanase beta-14-xylan xylanohydrolase beta-D-xylanase) is the name given to a class of enzymes which degrade the linear polysaccharide beta-14-xylan […]
Acetyl-CoA carboxylase
Acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC) is a biotin-dependent enzyme that catalyzes the irreversible carboxylation of acetyl-CoA to produce malonyl-CoA through its two catalytic activities biotin carboxylase (BC) and carboxyltransferase (CT). ACC is […]
