A chromodomain (chromatin organization modifier ) is a protein structural domain of about 40-50 amino acid residues commonly found in proteins associated with the remodeling and manipulation of chromatin. The […]

Phenylethanolamine N-methyltransferase (PNMT) is an enzyme found in the adrenal medulla that converts norepinephrine (noradrenaline) to epinephrine (adrenaline).PNMT is positively influenced by cortisol which is produced in the adrenal cortex.S-adenosyl-L-methionine […]

Palate lung and nasal epithelium clone protein (PLUNC) is a gene encoding a secretory protein. It is also called Secretory protein in upper respiratory tracts (SPURT). In humans it is […]

ADAM metallopeptidase domain 17 (ADAM17) also called TACE (tumor necrosis factor-α-converting enzyme) is a 70-kDa enzyme that belongs to the ADAM protein family of disintegrins and metalloproteases.

Neurokinin A formerly known as Substance K is a neurologically active peptide translated from the pre-protachykinin gene. Neurokinin A has many excitatory effects on mammalian nervous systems and is also […]

The PHD finger (Plant Homeo Domain) was discovered in 1993 as a Cys4-His-Cys3 motif in the homeodomain protein HAT3 in Arabidopsis thaliana. The PHD finger motif resembles the metal binding […]

Sterol carrier proteins (also known as nonspecific lipid transfer proteins) is a family of proteins that transfer steroids and probably also phospholipids and gangliosides between cellular membranes. These proteins are […]

CRAL-TRIO domain is a protein structural domain that binds small lipophilic molecules. This domain is named after cellular retinaldehyde-binding protein (CRALBP) and TRIO guanine exchange factor. CRALB protein carries 11-cis-retinol […]

Secretoneurin is a 33-amino acid neuropeptide derived from secretogranin II (chromogranin C CHGC). Secretoneurin is involved in chemotaxis of monocytes and eosinophils (comparable in potency to IL8) and endothelial cells […]

Type I collagen is the most abundant collagen of the human body which forms large eosinophilic fibers known as collagen fibers. It is present in scar tissue the end product […]
