Neurotrophin
Neurotrophins are a family of proteins that induce the survival development and function of neurons.They belong to a class of growth factors secreted proteins that are capable of signaling particular […]
Interleukin 10
Interleukin-10 (IL-10) also known as human cytokine synthesis inhibitory factor (CSIF) is an anti-inflammatory cytokine. In humans IL-10 is encoded by the IL10 gene.
Thioredoxin reductase
Thioredoxin reductases (TR TrxR) (EC 1.8.1.9) are the only known enzymes to reduce thioredoxin (Trx). Two classes of thioredoxin reductase have been identified: one class in bacteria and some eukaryotes […]
Phosphorylase
Phosphorylases are enzymes that catalyze the addition of a phosphate group from an inorganic phosphate (phosphate+hydrogen) to an acceptor.A-B + P A + P-BThey include allosteric enzymes that catalyze the […]
Nitric oxide synthase
Nitric oxide synthases (EC 1.14.13.39) (NOSs) are a family of enzymes catalyzing the production of nitric oxide (NO) from L-arginine. NO is an important cellular signaling molecule. It helps modulate […]
Transient receptor potential channel
Transient receptor potential channels (TRP channels) are a group of ion channels located mostly on the plasma membrane of numerous human and animal cell types. There are about 28 TRP […]
Chemokine
Chemokines (Greek -kinos movement) are a family of small cytokines or signaling proteins secreted by cells. Their name is derived from their ability to induce directed chemotaxis in nearby responsive […]
CYP2E1
Cytochrome P450 2E1 (abbreviated CYP2E1 EC 1.14.13.n7) a member of the cytochrome P450 mixed-function oxidase system is involved in the metabolism of xenobiotics in the body. In humans the CYP2E1 […]
CYP2D6
Cytochrome P450 2D6 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the CYP2D6 gene. CYP2D6 is primarily expressed in the liver. CYP2D6 a member of the cytochrome P450 mixed-function […]
