Notch proteins
Notch (DSL) proteins are a family of transmembrane proteins with repeated extracellular EGF domains and the notch (or DSL) domains. These proteins are involved in lateral inhibition in embryogenesis.The Notch […]
Fibronectin type III domain
The Fibronectin type III domain is an evolutionary conserved protein domain that is widely found in animal proteins. The fibronectin protein in which this domain was first identified contains 16 […]
Cyclic nucleotide-binding domain
Proteins that bind cyclic nucleotides (cAMP or cGMP) share a structural domain of about 120 residues. The best studied of these proteins is the prokaryotic catabolite gene activator (also known […]
Haemolysin E
Haemolysin E (HlyE) is a protein family that consists of several enterobacterial haemolysin (HlyE) proteins. Hemolysin E (HlyE) is a novel pore-forming toxin of Escherichia coli Salmonella typhi and Shigella […]
G protein-coupled receptor kinase 7
G protein-coupled receptor kinase 7 also known as GRK7 is an enzyme which in humans is encoded by the GRK7 gene.
SOX1
SOX1 (for Sex determining region Y-box 1) is a transcription factor in the Sox protein family. SOX1 expression is restricted to neuroectoderm in the tetrapod embryo. SOX1 is involved in […]
IQ calmodulin-binding motif
The IQ calmodulin-binding motif is an amino acid sequence motif containing the following sequence: [FILV]Qxxx[RK]Gxxx[RK]xx[FILVWY]The term IQ refers to the first two amino acids of the motif: isoleucine (commonly) and […]
Renalase
The renalase protein is an enzyme which has been claimed to degrade catecholamines like adrenaline (epinephrine) and noradrenaline (norepinephrine) in the blood circulation.Dr.
