The PT-barrel is a novel protein fold that was discovered in the crystal structure of the prenyltransferase Orf2 from Streptomyces sp. strain CL190.

ATP-binding cassette sub-family B member 5 also known as P-glycoprotein ABCB5 is a plasma membrane-spanning protein that in humans is encoded by the ABCB5 gene. ABCB5 is an ABC transporter […]

Chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 14 (CXCL14) is a small cytokine belonging to the CXC chemokine family that is also known as BRAK (for breast and kidney-expressed chemokine). Mature CXCL14 has […]

C-X-C motif chemokine 13 (CXCL13) also known as B lymphocyte chemoattractant (BLC) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CXCL13 gene.

In biology LSm proteins are a family of RNA-binding proteins found in virtually every cellular organism. LSm is a contraction of ‘like Sm’ because the first identified members of the […]

Paracaspases (human: MALT1) are proteins related to caspases present in animals and slime mold in contrast to metacaspases which are present in plants fungi and protists.Paracaspases are more similar to […]

Pore-forming toxins (PFTs) are protein exotoxins typically (but not exclusively) produced by bacteria such as C.septicum and S.aureus. They are frequently cytotoxic (i.e. they kill cells) as they create unregulated […]

Steroid 11β-hydroxylase is a steroid hydroxylase found in the zona fasciculata and zona reticularis. Named officially the cytochrome P450 11B1 mitochondrial it is a protein that in humans is encoded […]

Myophosphorylase is the muscle isoform of the enzyme glycogen phosphorylase. This enzyme helps break down glycogen (a form of stored carbohydrate) into glucose-1-phosphate (not glucose) so that it can be […]

The sigma-1 receptor (σ1R) one of two sigma receptor subtypes is a chaperone protein at the Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) that modulates calcium signaling through the IP3 receptor. In humans the […]
