Lymphotoxin (previously known as tumor necrosis factor-beta) is a lymphokine cytokine.It is a protein that is produced by Th1 type T-cells and induces vascular endothelial cells to change their surface […]

Ciliary neurotrophic factor is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CNTF gene.The protein encoded by this gene is a polypeptide hormone and nerve growth factor whose actions […]

Fel d 1 is a protein that in cats is encoded by the CH1 (chain 1/Fel d 1-A) and CH2 (chain 2/Fel d 1-B) genes.Fel d 1 produced largely in […]

Thy-1 or CD90 (Cluster of Differentiation 90) is a 25–37 kDa heavily N-glycosylated glycophosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchored conserved cell surface protein with a single V-like immunoglobulin domain originally discovered as a […]

Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaM kinase II or CaMKII) is a serine/threonine-specific protein kinase that is regulated by the Ca2+/calmodulin complex. CaMKII is involved in many signaling cascades and is […]

The sodium-calcium exchanger (often denoted Na+/Ca2+ exchanger NCX or exchange protein) is an antiporter membrane protein that removes calcium from cells. It uses the energy that is stored in the […]

Corticotropin-like intermediate [lobe] peptide (CLIP) also known as adrenocorticotropic hormone fragment 18-39 (ACTH(18-39)) is a naturally-occurring endogenous neuropeptide with a docosapeptide structure and the amino acid sequence Arg-Pro-Val-Lys-Val-Tyr-Pro-Asn-Gly-Ala-Glu-Asp-Glu-Ser-Ala-Glu-Ala-Phe-Pro-Leu-Glu-Phe. CLIP is […]

Geminin DNA replication inhibitor also known as GMNN is a protein in humans encoded by the GMNN gene.Geminin is a nuclear protein that is present in most eukaryotics and highly […]

Not to be confused with Osteocalcin or Osteopontin.Osteonectin (ON) also known as secreted protein acidic and rich in cysteine (SPARC) or basement-membrane protein 40 (BM-40) is a protein that in […]

Calsequestrin is a calcium-binding protein of the sarcoplasmic reticulum. The protein helps hold calcium in the cisterna of the sarcoplasmic reticulum after a muscle contraction even though the concentration of […]
