Lecithin—cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT also called phosphatidylcholine-sterol O-acyltransferase) is an enzyme that converts free cholesterol into cholesteryl ester (a more hydrophobic form of cholesterol) which is then sequestered into the core […]

Arylsulfatase A (or cerebroside-sulfatase) is an enzyme that breaks down cerebroside 3-sulfate into cerebroside and sulfate. In humans arylsulfatase A is encoded by the ARSA gene.

AMP deaminase 1 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the AMPD1 gene.Adenosine monophosphate deaminase is an enzyme that converts adenosine monophosphate (AMP) to inosine monophosphate (IMP) freeing […]

Lysyl hydroxylase (or procollagen-lysine 5-dioxygenase) is an oxygenase enzyme that catalyzes the hydroxylation of lysine to hydroxylysine. This reaction is necessary to the formation and stabilization of collagen. It takes […]

Aminopeptidases catalyze the cleavage of amino acids from the amino terminus of protein (N-terminus) or peptide substrates. They are widely distributed throughout the animal and plant kingdoms and are found […]

Apoptosis regulator BAX also known as bcl-2-like protein 4 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the BAX gene.BAX is a member of the Bcl-2 gene family. Apoptosis […]

The interleukin-2 receptor (IL-2R) is a heterotrimeric protein expressed on the surface of certain immune cells such as lymphocytes that binds and responds to a cytokine called IL-2. The IL-2R […]

Armadillo repeat is the name of a characteristic repetitive amino acid sequence found in β-catenin and many other proteins like α-importin plakoglobin or adenomatous polyposis coli (APC). Its name derives […]

Neurturin is a ligand used to bind to GFRA2 receptors. It is related to Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor.

Platelet factor 4 (PF4) is a small cytokine belonging to the CXC chemokine family that is also known as chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 4 (CXCL4) . This chemokine is released […]
