Aspartate carbamoyltransferase
Aspartate carbamoyltransferase (also known as aspartate transcarbamoylase or ATCase) catalyzes the first step in the pyrimidine biosynthetic pathway (EC 2.1.3.2).In E. coli the enzyme is a multi-subunit protein complex composed […]
Hsp70
The 70 kilodalton heat shock proteins (Hsp70s) are a family of conserved ubiquitously expressed heat shock proteins. Proteins with similar structure exist in virtually all living organisms. The Hsp70s are […]
Thyroglobulin
Thyroglobulin (Tg) is a 660 kDa dimeric protein produced by and used entirely within the thyroid gland. Tg bound to T3 and/or T4 is sometimes called a colloid.Thyroglobulin should not […]
Transcortin
Transcortin also known as corticosteroid-binding globulin (CBG) or serpin A6 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SERPINA6 gene. It is an alpha-globulin.
Transferrin
Transferrins are iron-binding blood plasma glycoproteins that control the level of free iron in biological fluids. Human transferrin is encoded by the TF gene.Transferrin glycoproteins bind iron very tightly but […]
Ferritin
Ferritin is a ubiquitous intracellular protein that stores iron and releases it in a controlled fashion. The protein is produced by almost all living organisms including algae bacteria higher plants […]
Alpha 1-antitrypsin
Alpha-1 Antitrypsin or α1-antitrypsin (A1AT) is a protease inhibitor belonging to the serpin superfamily. It is generally known as serum trypsin inhibitor. Alpha 1-antitrypsin is also referred to as alpha-1 […]
Calcitonin
Calcitonin (also known as thyrocalcitonin) is a 32-amino acid linear polypeptide hormone that is producedin humans primarily by the parafollicular cells (also known as C-cells) of the thyroid and in […]
BK channel
BK channels (Big Potassium) also called Maxi-K or slo1 are potassium channels characterized by their large conductance of potassium ions (K+) through cell membranes. These channels are activated (opened) by […]
