CD59 antigen
CD59 antigen (also called 1F-5Ag H19 HRF20 MACIF MIRL P-18 or protectin) inhibits formation of membrane attack complex (MAC) thus protecting cells from complement-mediated lysis. It has a signaling role […]
Rabaptin
Rabaptin is a key protein involved in regeneration of injured axons.Regeneration of injured axons at neuromuscular junctions is regulated by extra-cellular protein factors that promote neurite outgrowth. A novel neurite […]
Aldehyde oxidase and xanthine dehydrogenase a/b hammerhead domain
The aldehyde oxidase and xanthine dehydrogenase a/b hammerhead domain is an evolutionary conserved protein domain.Aldehyde oxidase (EC 1.2.3.1) catalyzes the conversion of an aldehyde in the presence of oxygen and […]
Peptaibol
Peptaibols are biologically active peptides containing between seven and twenty amino acid residues some of which are non-proteinogenic amino acids. In particular they contain α-aminoisobutyric acid along with other unusual […]
Theta defensin
Theta defensins are a family of mammalian antimicrobial peptides. They are found in some non-human primates but not in human gorilla bonobo and chimpanzee.
ENOD40
enod40 also known as early nodulin 40 is a gene found in flowering plants. The gene has characteristics of both protein and Non-coding RNA genes.
CUB domain
CUB domain is an evolutionarily conserved protein domain.The CUB domain (for complement C1r/C1s Uegf Bmp1) is a structural motif of approximately 110 residues found almost exclusively in extracellular and plasma […]
Somatostatin family
The Somatostatin family is a protein family with somatostatin as titular member a hormone which inhibits the release of the pituitary somatotropin (growth hormone) and inhibits the release of glucagon […]
Gastrin family
Gastrin and cholecystokinin (CCK) are structurally and functionally related peptide hormones that function as hormonal regulators of various digestive processes and feeding behaviors. They are known to induce gastric secretion […]
