Ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM) is a serine/threonine protein kinase that is recruited and activated by DNA double-strand breaks. It phosphorylates several key proteins that initiate activation of the DNA damage […]

Taq polymerase
Taq polymerase /ˌtæk ˈpɒlɨməreɪz/ is a thermostable DNA polymerase named after the thermophilic bacterium Thermus aquaticus from which it was originally isolated by Thomas D. Brock in 1965. It is […]
Histamine H4 receptor
The histamine H4 receptor is like the other three histamine receptors a member of the G protein-coupled receptor superfamily.
Agouti-related peptide
Agouti-related protein also called Agouti-related peptide (AgRP) is a neuropeptide produced in the brain by the AgRP/NPY neuron. It is only synthesised in NPY-containing cell bodies located in the ventromedial […]
CRISPR
CRISPRs (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats) are DNA loci containing short repetitions of base sequences. Each repetition is followed by short segments of spacer DNA from previous exposures to […]
LDL receptor
The Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL) Receptor is a mosaic protein of 839 amino acids (after removal of 21-amino acid signal peptide) that mediates the endocytosis of cholesterol-rich LDL. It is a […]
Thrombospondin
Thrombospondins (TSP) are secreted proteins with antiangiogenic abilities. TSP was discovered by Nancy L. Baenziger.
COQ7
The clk-1 (Clock abnormal protein 1) gene encodes an enzyme (demethoxyubiquinone mono-oxygenase) that is necessary for ubiquinone biosynthesis in the worm Caenorhabditis elegans and other eukaryotes. The mouse version of […]
Entactin
Entactin also known as nidogen-1 (NID-1) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the NID1 gene. Entactin is a component of the basement membrane alongside other components such […]
TLR3
Toll-like receptor 3 (TLR3) also known as CD283 (cluster of differentiation 283) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TLR3 gene. TLR3 is a member of the […]
