SWI/SNF
In molecular biology SWI/SNF (SWItch/Sucrose NonFermentable) is a nucleosome remodeling complex found in both eukaryotes and prokaryotes. In simpler terms it is a group of proteins that associate to remodel […]
HFE (gene)
Human hemochromatosis protein also known as the HFE protein is a protein which in humans is encoded by the HFE gene.The HFE gene is located on short arm of chromosome […]
Telokin
Telokin is an abundant protein found in smooth-muscle. It is identical to the C-terminus of myosin light-chain kinase. Telokin may play a role in the stabilization of unphosphorylated smooth-muscle myosin […]

Apolipoprotein B (ApoB) are the primary apolipoproteins of chylomicrons and low-density lipoproteins (LDL – known commonly by the misnomer bad cholesterol when in reference to heart disease) which is responsible […]
Apolipoprotein E
Apolipoprotein E (ApoE) is a class of apolipoprotein found in the chylomicron and Intermediate-density lipoprotein (IDLs) that is essential for the normal catabolism of triglyceride-rich lipoprotein constituents. In peripheral tissues […]
