Ankyrin
Ankyrins are a family of adaptor proteins that mediate the attachment of integral membrane proteins to the spectrin-actin based membrane cytoskeleton. Ankyrins have binding sites for the beta subunit of […]
Kell antigen system
The Kell antigen system (also known as Kell-Cellano system) is a group of antigens on the human red blood cell surface which are important determinants of blood type and are […]
Diacylglycerol kinase
Diacylglycerol kinase (DGK or DAGK) is a family of enzymes that catalyzes the conversion of diacylglycerol (DAG) to phosphatidic acid (PA) utilizing ATP as a source of the phosphate. In […]
Beta-catenin
Catenin (cadherin-associated protein) beta 1 88kDa (the HUGO-approved official symbol CTNNB1; HGNC ID HGNC:2514) also called beta-catenin (or β-catenin) is a dual function protein regulating the coordination of cell–cell adhesion […]
Aquaporin 2
AQP2 is found in the apical cell membranes of the kidney’s collecting duct principal cells and in intracellular vesicles located throughout the cell.
Aquaporin 4
Aquaporin 4 also known as AQP4 is a protein which in humans is encoded by the AQP4 gene. AQP4 belongs to the aquaporin family of integral membrane proteins that conduct […]
Glycophorin
A Glycophorin is a sialoglycoprotein of the membrane of a red blood cell. It is a membrane-spanning protein and carries sugar molecules. It is heavily glycosylated (60%). Glycophorins are rich […]
Proprotein convertase 2
Proprotein convertase 2 (PC2) also known as prohormone convertase 2 or neuroendocrine convertase 2 (NEC2) is a serine protease and proprotein convertase PC2 like proprotein convertase 1 (PC1) is an […]
Collagenase
Collagenases are enzymes that break the peptide bonds in collagen. They assist in destroying extracellular structures in the pathogenesis of bacteria such as Clostridium. They are a considered a virulence […]
