N-Acetylglutamate synthase
N-acetylglutamate synthase (NAGS) is an enzyme that catalyses the production of N-acetylglutamate (NAG) from glutamate and acetyl-CoA.NAGS a member of the N-acetyltransferase family of enzymes is present in both prokaryotes […]
Vasopressin receptor
The actions of vasopressin are mediated by stimulation of tissue-specific G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) called vasopressin receptors that are classified into V1 V2 and V3 subtypes. These three subtypes differ […]
IL1B
Interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β) also known as catabolin is a cytokine protein that in humans is encoded by the IL1B gene. IL-1β precursor is cleaved by caspase 1 (interleukin 1 beta […]
Ku (protein)
Ku is a protein that binds to DNA double-strand break ends and is required for the non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) pathway of DNA repair. Ku is evolutionarily conserved from bacteria […]
Vitronectin
Vitronectin also known as VTN is a protein that in humans is encoded by the VTN gene.The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the pexin family. Vitronectin […]
P300-CBP coactivator family
The p300-CBP coactivator family is composed of two closely related transcriptional co-activating proteins (or coactivators):p300 (also called EP300 or E1A binding protein p300) CBP (also known as CREB-binding protein or […]
Beta-2 adrenergic receptor
The beta-2 adrenergic receptor (β2 adrenoreceptor) also known as ADRB2 is a beta-adrenergic receptor within a cell membrane which reacts with adrenaline (epinephrine) as a hormone or neurotransmitter affecting muscles […]
Beta-1 adrenergic receptor
The beta-1 adrenergic receptor (β1 adrenoreceptor) also known as ADRB1 is a beta-adrenergic receptor and also denotes the human gene encoding it. It is a G-protein coupled receptor associated with […]
Gelsolin
Gelsolin is an actin-binding protein that is a key regulator of actin filament assembly and disassembly. Gelsolin is one of the most potent members of the actin-severing gelsolin/villin superfamily as […]
