c-Jun N-terminal kinases (JNKs) were originally identified as kinases that bind and phosphorylate c-Jun on Ser-63 and Ser-73 within its transcriptional activation domain. They belong to the mitogen-activated protein kinase […]

Paxillin
Paxillin is a signal transduction adaptor protein discovered in 1990 in the laboratory of Keith Burridge. The C-terminal region of paxillin contains four LIM domains that target paxillin to focal […]
Bactericidal/permeability-increasing protein
Bactericidal/permeability-increasing protein (BPI) is a 456-residue (~50kDa) protein that is part of the innate immune system.
Cathepsin G
Cathepsin G (EC 3.4.21.20 chymotrypsin-like proteinase neutral proteinase) is an enzymatic protein belonging to the peptidase or protease families. In humans it is coded by the CTSG gene.The protein encoded […]
Microphthalmia-associated transcription factor
Microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF) is a basic helix-loop-helix leucine zipper transcription factor involved in melanocyte and osteoclast development. MITF is the most characterized member of the MIT family. Its gene […]
Twist transcription factor
Twist-related protein 1 (TWIST1) also known as class A basic helix-loop-helix protein 38 (bHLHa38) is a basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor that in humans is encoded by the TWIST1 gene.
Myogenin
Myogenin (myogenic factor 4) also known as MYOG is a gene.Myogenin is a muscle-specific basic-helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factor involved in the coordination of skeletal muscle development or myogenesis and repair. […]
Alpha 1-antichymotrypsin
Alpha 1-antichymotrypsin is an alpha globulin glycoprotein that is a member of the serpin superfamily. In humans it is encoded by the SERPINA3 gene.
Neuropilin
Neuropilin is a protein receptor active in neurons.There are two forms of Neuropilins NRP-1 and NRP-2. They are transmembrane glycoproteins and predominantly co-receptors for another class of proteins known as […]
