Tyrosine hydroxylase or tyrosine 3-monooxygenase is the enzyme responsible for catalyzing the conversion of the amino acid L-tyrosine to L-34-dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-DOPA). It does so using molecular oxygen (O2) as well […]

Sterol Regulatory Element-Binding Proteins (SREBPs) are transcription factors that bind to the sterol regulatory element DNA sequence TCACNCCAC. Mammalian SREBPs are encoded by the genes SREBF1 and SREBF2. SREBPs belong […]

CD72 (Cluster of Differentiation 72) also known in murine biology as Lyb-2 is a protein active in the immune system of animals. It consists of two identical halves each of […]

Glial cell-derived neurotrophic factor also known as GDNF is a protein that in humans is encoded by the GDNF gene.GDNF is a small protein that potently promotes the survival of […]

Caspase recruitment domains or Caspase activation and recruitment domains (CARDs) are interaction motifs found in a wide array of proteins typically those involved in processes relating to inflammation and apoptosis. […]

Apolipoprotein C2 or Apolipoprotein C-II is a protein that in humans is encoded by the APOC2 gene.The protein encoded by this gene is secreted in plasma where it is a […]

APOBEC3G (apolipoprotein B mRNA-editing enzyme-catalytic polypeptide-like 3G) is a human enzyme encoded by the APOBEC3G gene that belongs to the APOBEC superfamily of proteins. This family of proteins has been […]

PAX3 is a gene that belongs to the paired box (PAX) family of transcription factors. This gene was formerly known as splotch. PAX3 has been identified with ear eye and […]

The vesicular monoamine transporter 2 (VMAT2) also known as solute carrier family 18 member 2 (SLC18A2) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SLC18A2 gene. VMAT2 is […]

Paired box protein Pax-6 also known as aniridia type II protein (AN2) or oculorhombin is a protein that in humans is encoded by the PAX6 gene.Pax6 is a transcription factor […]
