Bruton’s tyrosine kinase
Bruton’s tyrosine kinase (abbreviated Btk or BTK) is a type of kinase enzyme implicated in the primary immunodeficiency disease X-linked agammaglobulinemia (Bruton’s agammaglobulinemia). Its exact mechanism of action remains unknown […]
Interleukin 11
Interleukin 11 (IL-11) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the IL11 gene.IL-11 is a multifunctional cytokine first isolated in 1990 from bone marrow-derived stromal cells. It is […]
Collagen type XXVII alpha 1
Collagen alpha-1 (XXVII) chain (COL27A1) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the COL27A1 gene.COL27A1 is a type XXVII collagen. It was discovered by James Pace. This gene […]
Protein kinase R
Protein kinase RNA-activated also known as protein kinase R (PKR) interferon-induced double-stranded RNA-activated protein kinase or eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2-alpha kinase 2 (EIF2AK2) is an enzyme that in humans […]
Azoospermia factor
Azoospermia factor (AZF) refers to one of several proteins or their genes which are coded from the AZF region on the human male Y chromosome. Deletions in this region are […]
DUF1220
DUF1220 is a protein domain of unknown function that shows a striking human lineage-specific (HLS) increase in copy number and may be important to human brain evolution. The copy number […]
Deleted in Colorectal Cancer
Deleted in Colorectal Carcinoma also known as DCC is a protein which in humans is encoded by the DCC gene. DCC has long been implicated in colorectal cancer. While the […]
Extracellular signal-regulated kinases
In molecular biology extracellular-signal-regulated kinases (ERKs) or classical MAP kinases are widely expressed protein kinase intracellular signalling molecules that are involved in functions including the regulation of meiosis mitosis and […]
Cholesterol side-chain cleavage enzyme
Cholesterol side-chain cleavage enzyme is commonly referred to as P450scc where scc is an acronym for side-chain cleavage. P450scc is a mitochondrial enzyme that catalyzes conversion of cholesterol to pregnenolone. […]
