The thyrotropin receptor (or TSH receptor) is a receptor (and associated protein) that responds to thyroid-stimulating hormone (also known as thyrotropin) and stimulates the production of thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine […]

The calcitriol receptor also known as the vitamin D receptor (VDR) and also known as NR1I1 (nuclear receptor subfamily 1 group I member 1) is a member of the nuclear […]

The glucagon receptor is a 62 kDa protein that is activated by glucagon and is a member of the class B G-protein coupled family of receptors coupled to G alpha […]

The erythropoietin receptor (EpoR) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the EPOR gene. EpoR is a 59 kDa peptide and is a member of the cytokine receptor […]

There are at least four known endothelin receptors ETA ETB1 ETB2 and ETC all of which are G protein-coupled receptors whose activation result in elevation of intracellular-free calcium.

Neurotensin is a 13 amino acid neuropeptide that is implicated in the regulation of luteinizing hormone and prolactin release and has significant interaction with the dopaminergic system.

Glucose transporter 1 (or GLUT1) also known as solute carrier family 2 facilitated glucose transporter member 1 (SLC2A1) is a uniporter protein that in humans is encoded by the SLC2A1 […]

The ankyrin repeat is a 33-residue motif in proteins consisting of two alpha helices separated by loops first discovered in signaling proteins in yeast Cdc10 and Drosophila Notch. Domains consisting […]

Bone morphogenetic protein receptor type II or BMPR2 is a serine/threonine receptor kinase. It binds Bone morphogenetic proteins members of the TGF beta superfamily of ligands which are involved in […]

Strabismus was originally identified as a Drosophila protein involved in planar cell polarity. Flies with mutated strabismus genes have altered development of omatidia in their eyes. Vertebrates have two Strabismus-related […]
