Synaptobrevin
Synaptobrevins (synaptobrevin isotypes 1-2) are small integral membrane proteins of secretory vesicles with molecular weight of 18 kilodalton (kDa) that are part of the vesicle-associated membrane protein (VAMP) family.Synaptobrevin is […]
Nerve growth factor
Nerve growth factor (NGF) is a small secreted protein that is important for the growth maintenance and survival of certain target neurons (nerve cells). It also functions as a signaling […]
CD8
CD8 (cluster of differentiation 8) is a transmembrane glycoprotein that serves as a co-receptor for the T cell receptor (TCR). Like the TCR CD8 binds to a major histocompatibility complex […]
Phospholamban
Phospholamban also known as PLN or PLB is a protein that in humans is encoded by the PLN gene. Phospholamban is a 52-amino acid integral membrane protein that regulates the […]
CD34
CD34 molecule is a cluster of differentiation molecule present on certain cells within the human body. It is a cell surface glycoprotein and functions as a cell-cell adhesion factor. It […]
Nucleoside-diphosphate kinase
Nucleoside-diphosphate kinases (NDKs also NDP Kinase (poly)nucleotide kinases and nucleoside diphosphokinases) are enzymes that catalyze the exchange of phosphate groups between different nucleoside diphosphates. NDK activities maintain an equilibrium between […]
Hepatocyte nuclear factor 4
HNF4 (Hepatocyte Nuclear Factor 4) is a nuclear receptor protein mostly expressed in the liver gut kidney and pancreatic beta cells that is critical for liver development. In humans there […]
Vinculin
In mammalian cells vinculin is a membrane-cytoskeletal protein in focal adhesion plaques that is involved in linkage of integrin adhesion molecules to the actin cytoskeleton. Discovered independently by Benny Geiger […]
Phycobilisome
Phycobilisomes are light harvesting antennae of photosystem II in cyanobacteria red algae and glaucophytes.
