Epoxide hydrolase (also known as epoxide hydratase) functions in detoxication during drug metabolism. It converts epoxides to trans-dihydrodiols which can be conjugated and excreted from the body. Epoxides result from […]

Enkephalin
An enkephalin is a pentapeptide involved in regulating nociception in the body. The enkephalins are termed endogenous ligands as they are internally derived and bind to the body’s opioid receptors. […]
Thioredoxin
Thioredoxin is a class of small redox proteins known to be present in all organisms. It plays a role in many important biological processes including redox signaling. In humans it […]
Protein kinase C
Protein kinase C also known as PKC (EC 2.7.11.13) is a family of protein kinase enzymes that are involved in controlling the function of other proteins through the phosphorylation of […]
Ferredoxin
Ferredoxins (from Latin ferrum: iron + redox often abbreviated fd) are iron-sulfur proteins that mediate electron transfer in a range of metabolic reactions. The term ferredoxin was coined by D.C. […]
Hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase
Hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (HGPRT) is an enzyme encoded in humans by the HPRT1 gene.HGPRT is a transferase that catalyzes conversion of hypoxanthine to inosine monophosphate and guanine to guanosine monophosphate. This […]
CD36
CD36 (Cluster of Differentiation 36) also known as FAT (fatty acid translocase) FAT/CD36 (FAT)/CD36 SCARB3 GP88 glycoprotein IV (gpIV) and glycoprotein IIIb (gpIIIb) is an integral membrane protein found on […]
Complement receptor 1
Complement receptor type 1 (CR1) also known as C3b/C4b receptor or CD35 (cluster of differentiation 35) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CR1 gene.This gene is […]

CA-125
CA-125 (cancer antigen 125 carcinoma antigen 125 or carbohydrate antigen 125) also known as mucin 16 or MUC16 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MUC16 gene. […]
