The Krüppel associated box (KRAB) domain is a category of transcriptional repression domains present in approximately 400 human zinc finger protein-based transcription factors (KRAB zinc finger proteins). The KRAB domain […]

Human serum albumin is the most abundant protein in human blood plasma. It is produced in the liver. Albumin constitutes about half of the blood serum protein. It is soluble […]

Transcription factor Sp1 also known as specificity protein 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SP1 gene.

The shaker (Sh) gene when mutated causes a variety of atypical behaviors in the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster. Under ether anesthesia the fly’s legs will shake (hence the name); even […]
