Desmin is a protein that in humans is encoded by the DES gene.Desmin is a type III intermediate filament found near the Z line in sarcomeres. It was first described […]

Myeloperoxidase (MPO) is a peroxidase enzyme that in humans is encoded by the MPO gene. Myeloperoxidase is most abundantly expressed in neutrophil granulocytes (a subtype of white blood cells). It […]

EGR-1 (Early growth response protein 1) also known as Zif268 (zinc finger protein 225) or NGFI-A (nerve growth factor-induced protein A) is a protein that in humans is encoded by […]

Factor IX (or Christmas factor) (EC 3.4.21.22) is one of the serine proteases of the coagulation system; it belongs to peptidase family S1. Deficiency of this protein causes hemophilia B. […]

Adenosine deaminase (also known as adenosine aminhydrolase or ADA) is an enzyme (EC 3.5.4.4) involved in purine metabolism. It is needed for the breakdown of adenosine from food and for […]

Transposase is an enzyme that binds to the ends of a transposon and catalyzes the movement of the transposon to another part of the genome by a cut and paste […]

Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) (EC 3.1.1.34) is a member of the lipase gene family which includes pancreatic lipase hepatic lipase and endothelial lipase. It is a water soluble enzyme that hydrolyzes […]

BRCA2 and BRCA2 (/ˌbrækəˈtuː/) are a human gene and its protein product respectively. The official symbol (BRCA2 italic for the gene nonitalic for the protein) and the official name (breast […]

5α-reductases also known as 3-oxo-5α-steroid 4-dehydrogenases are enzymes involved in steroid metabolism. They participate in 3 metabolic pathways: bile acid biosynthesis androgen and estrogen metabolism and prostate cancer.

Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) previously known as ligandins comprise a family of eukaryotic and prokaryotic phase II metabolic isozymes best known for their ability to catalyze the conjugation of the reduced […]
