Interferon regulatory factors are proteins which regulate transcription of interferons (see regulation of gene expression).They are used in the JAK-STAT signaling pathway.Interferon regulatory factors contain a conserved N-terminal region of […]

Cofilin 1 (non-muscle; n-cofilin) also known as CFL1 is a human gene part of the ADF/cofilin family.Cofilin is a widely distributed intracellular actin-modulating protein that binds and depolymerizes filamentous F-actin […]

The thyroid hormone receptor (TR) is a type of nuclear receptor that is activated by binding thyroid hormone.

Guanylin is a 15 amino acid polypeptide that is secreted by goblet cells in the colon. Guanylin acts as an agonist of the guanylyl cyclase receptor GC-C and regulates electrolyte […]

Agouti signalling peptide a product of the Agouti gene is a peptide consisting of 131 amino acids. Its discovery was published in 1994 in the scientific journal Nature where its […]

Decorin is a protein that in humans is encoded by the DCN gene.Decorin is a proteoglycan that is on average 90 – 140 kilodaltons (kD) in molecular weight.

Deoxyribonuclease I (usually called DNase I) is an endonuclease coded by the human gene DNASE1.DNase I is a nuclease that cleaves DNA preferentially at phosphodiester linkages adjacent to a pyrimidine […]
