Maltase
Maltase (EC 3.2.1.20 alpha-glucosidase glucoinvertase glucosidosucrase maltase-glucoamylase alpha-glucopyranosidase glucosidoinvertase alpha-D-glucosidase alpha-glucoside hydrolase alpha-14-glucosidase alpha-D-glucoside glucohydrolase) is an enzyme that breaks down the disaccharide maltose. Maltase catalyzes the hydrolysis of maltose […]
Ras subfamily
Ras is the name given to a family of related proteins which is ubiquitously expressed in allcells . All Ras protein family members belong to a class of protein called […]
Substance P
In the field of neuroscience substance P (SP) is a neuropeptide – a substance that functions as a neurotransmitter and as a neuromodulator. To be specific substance P is an […]
Corticotropin-releasing factor family
Corticotropin-releasing factor CRF is a family of related neuropeptides in vertebrates. This family includes corticotropin-releasing hormone urotensin-I urocortin and sauvagine. The family can be grouped into 2 separate paralogous lineages […]
Sonic hedgehog
Sonic hedgehog is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SHH (sonic hedgehog) gene. Both the gene and the protein may also be found notated alternatively as Shh.Sonic […]
Gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase
Gamma-glutamyl transferase or gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (also γ-glutamyl transferase GGT GGTP gamma-GT) (EC 2.3.2.2) is an enzyme that transfers gamma-glutamyl functional groups. It is found in many tissues the most notable […]
Signal recognition particle
The signal recognition particle (SRP) is an abundant cytosolic universally conserved ribonucleoprotein (protein-RNA complex) that recognizes and targets specific proteins to the endoplasmic reticulum in eukaryotes and the plasma membrane […]

Histone methyltransferase
Histone methyltransferases (HMT) are histone-modifying enzymes (including histone-lysine N-methyltransferase and histone-arginine N-methyltransferase) that catalyze the transfer of one two or three methyl groups to lysine and arginine residues of histone […]
