Pleckstrin homology domain (PH domain) is a protein domain of approximately 120 amino acids that occurs in a wide range of proteins involved in intracellular signaling or as constituents of […]

Merlin (also called Neurofibromin 2 or schwannomin) is a cytoskeletal protein. In humans it is a tumor suppressor protein involved in Neurofibromatosis type II. Sequence data reveal its similarity to […]

Arachidonate 5-lipoxygenase-activating protein also known as 5-lipoxygenase activating protein or FLAP is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ALOX5AP gene.

Huntingtin Interacting Protein or Hip-1 for short is a protein that interacts with the huntingtin protein. It is known to contain a domain homologous to the death effector domains (DED) […]

Vacuolar-type H+-ATPase (V-ATPase) is a highly conserved evolutionarily ancient enzyme with remarkably diverse functions in eukaryotic organisms. V-ATPases acidify a wide array of intracellular organelles and pump protons across the […]

Human placental lactogen (hPL) also called human chorionic somatomammotropin (HCS) is a polypeptide placental hormone. Its structure and function is similar to that of human growth hormone. It modifies the […]

The prolactin receptor—encoded by a gene on Chromosome 5p13-14—interacts with the prolactin molecule as a transmembrane receptor. Thus it contains an extracellular region that binds prolactin a transmembrane region and […]

Interleukin 7 (IL-7) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the IL7 gene.IL-7 a hematopoietic growth factor secreted by stromal cells in the bone marrow and thymus. It […]

Carotenoid oxygenases are a family of enzymes involved in the cleavage of carotenoids to produce for example retinol commonly known as vitamin A.

Penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) are a group of proteins that are characterized by their affinity for and binding of penicillin. They are a normal constituent of many bacteria; the name just […]
