Pilin
Pilin refers to a class of fibrous proteins that are found in pilus structures in bacteria. Bacterial pili are used in the exchange of genetic material during bacterial conjugation and […]
DNA clamp
A DNA clamp also known as a sliding clamp is a protein fold that serves as a processivity-promoting factor in DNA replication. As a critical component of the DNA polymerase […]
RANKL
Not to be confused with RANK the osteoclast cell-surface receptor that binds to RANKL.Receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand (RANKL) also known as tumor necrosis factor ligand superfamily member […]
Ribosomal protein
A ribosomal protein is any of the proteins that in conjunction with rRNA make up the ribosomal subunits involved in the cellular process of translation. A large part of the […]
Rab geranylgeranyltransferase
Rab geranylgeranyltransferase also known as geranylgeranyltransferase II is one of the three prenyltransferases. It transfers (usually) two geranylgeranyl groups to the cystein(s) at the C-terminus of Rab proteins.The C-terminus of […]
Tamm–Horsfall protein
The Tamm–Horsfall glycoprotein (THP) also known as uromodulin is a glycoprotein that in humans is encoded by the UMOD gene. Uromodulin is the most abundant protein excreted in ordinary urine.
Aspartoacylase
Aspartoacylase (EC 3.5.1.15 aminoacylase II N-acetylaspartate amidohydrolase acetyl-aspartic deaminase acylase II) is a hydrolase enzyme with system name N-acyl-L-aspartate amidohydrolase. which breaks down N-acetylaspartate. A deficiency is associated with Canavan […]
Signal peptide peptidase
In molecular biology the Signal Peptide Peptidase (SPP) is a type of protein that specifically cleaves parts of other proteins. It is an intramembrane aspartyl protease with the conserved active […]
Anthrax toxin
Anthrax toxin is a three-protein exotoxin secreted by virulent strains of the bacterium Bacillus anthracis—the causative agent of anthrax. The toxin was first discovered by Harry Smith in 1954. Anthrax […]
