The thyrotropin-releasing hormone receptor (TRHR) is a G protein-coupled receptor which binds the tripeptide thyrotropin releasing hormone. The TRHR are found in the brain and when bound by TRH result […]

Heat shock protein 27 (Hsp27) also known as heat shock protein beta-1 (HSPB1) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the HSPB1 gene.Hsp27 is a chaperone of the […]

Ribosome Recycling Factor (RRF) is a protein found in bacterial cells as well as eukaryotic organelles specifically mitochondria and chloroplasts. It functions to recycle ribosomes after completion of protein synthesis.

Lacritin is a 12.3 kDa glycoprotein encoded in humans by the LACRT gene. Lacritin is a secreted protein found in tears and saliva. Lacritin also promotes tear secretion and the […]

AQP1 is a widely expressed water channel whose physiological function has been most thoroughly characterized in the kidney. It is found in the basolateral and apical plasma membranes of the […]

Aquaporin 3 is found in the basolateral cell membrane of principal collecting duct cells and provide a pathway for water to exit these cells. In kidney AQP3 gene expression is […]

Tetraspanins are a family of membrane proteins found in all multicellular eukaryotes.Tetraspanins also called tetraspans or the transmembrane 4 superfamily (TM4SF) have four transmembrane domains intracellular N- and C-termini and […]

Cytochrome P450 17A1 or steroid 17-alpha-monooxygenase or 17α-hydroxylase/1720 lyase/1720 desmolase is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the CYP17A1 gene. It is found in the zona reticularis of […]

Methylmalonyl Coenzyme A mutase also known as MCM is an enzyme that catalyzes the isomerization of methylmalonyl-CoA to succinyl-CoA and it is involved in key metabolic pathways. It requires a […]

Growth factor receptor-bound protein 2 also known as Grb2 is an adaptor protein involved in signal transduction/cell communication. In humans the GRB2 protein is encoded by the GRB2 gene.The protein […]
