The androgen receptor (AR) also known as NR3C4 (nuclear receptor subfamily 3 group C member 4) is a type of nuclear receptor that is activated by binding of either of […]

The progesterone receptor (PR also known as NR3C3 or nuclear receptor subfamily 3 group C member 3) is a protein found inside cells. It is activated by the steroid hormone […]

p73 is a protein related to the p53 tumor protein. Because of its structural resemblance to p53 it has also been considered a tumor suppressor. It is involved in cell […]

Laminins are major proteins in the basal lamina (one of the layers of the basement membrane) a protein network foundation for most cells and organs. The laminins are an important […]

CD1 (cluster of differentiation 1) is a family of glycoproteins expressed on the surface of various human antigen-presenting cells. They are related to the class I MHC molecules and are […]

Cyclophilins are a family of proteins from vertebrates and other organisms that bind to cyclosporine an immunosuppressant which is usually used to suppress rejection after internal organ transplants. These proteins […]

Hirudin is a naturally occurring peptide in the salivary glands of medicinal leeches (such as Hirudo medicinalis) that has a blood anticoagulant property. This is fundamental for the leeches’ alimentary […]

Glycogenin is an enzyme involved in converting glucose to glycogen. It acts as a primer by polymerizing the first few glucose molecules after which other enzymes take over. It is […]

Annexin is a common name for a group of cellular proteins. They are mostly found in eukaryotic organisms (animal plant and fungi).In humans the annexins are found inside the cell. […]

GABAB receptors (GABABR) are metabotropic transmembrane receptors for gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) that are linked via G-proteins to potassium channels. The changing potassium concentrations hyperpolarize the cell at the end of […]
