Leukemia inhibitory factor or LIF is an interleukin 6 class cytokine that affects cell growth by inhibiting differentiation. When LIF levels drop the cells differentiate.

β-Glucocerebrosidase (also called acid β-glucosidase D-glucosyl-N-acylsphingosine glucohydrolase or GCase) is an enzyme with glucosylceramidase activity (EC 3.2.1.45) that is needed to cleave by hydrolysis the beta-glucosidic linkage of the chemical […]

Phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the PTEN gene. Mutations of this gene are a step in the development of many cancers.PTEN […]

Ubiquitin-protein ligase E3A (UBE3A) also known as E6AP ubiquitin-protein ligase (E6AP) is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the UBE3A gene. This enzyme is involved in targeting proteins […]

Androgen-binding protein (ABP) is a glycoprotein (beta-globulin) produced by the Sertoli cells in the seminiferous tubules of the testis that binds specifically to testosterone (T) dihydrotestosterone (DHT) and 17-beta-estradiol.Because ABP […]

Adenine phosphoribosyltransferase is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the APRT gene.

GLUD1 (Glutamate dehydrogenase 1) is a mitochondrial matrix enzyme with a key role in the nitrogen and glutamate (Glu) metabolism and the energy homeostasis. GLUD1 is expressed at high levels […]

Interleukin 13 (IL-13) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the IL13 gene. IL-13 was first cloned in 1993 and is located on chromosome 5q31 with a length […]

C5a is a protein fragment released from cleavage complement component C5 by protease C5-convertase into C5a and C5b fragments. C5b is important in late events of complement cascade whereas C5a […]

Prostatic acid phosphatase (PAP) also prostatic specific acid phosphatase (PSAP) is an enzyme produced by the prostate in males. It may be found in increased amounts in men who have […]
