DC-SIGN
DC-SIGN (Dendritic Cell-Specific Intercellular adhesion molecule-3-Grabbing Non-integrin) also known as CD209 (Cluster of Differentiation 209) is a protein which in humans is encoded by the CD209 gene.DC-SIGN is a C-type […]
RLI
RLI is an essential and highly conserved protein that is required for both eukaryotic translation initiation as well as ribosome biogenesis. The most studied homologues are Rli1p in yeast and […]
Flavoprotein
Flavoproteins are proteins that contain a nucleic acid derivative of riboflavin: the flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) or flavin mononucleotide (FMN). Flavoproteins are involved in a wide array of biological processes […]
MYH7
MYH7 is a gene encoding a myosin heavy chain beta (MHC-β) isoform (slow twitch) expressed primarily in the heart but also in skeletal muscles (type I fibers).Changes in the relative […]
Mammalian target of rapamycin
The mechanistic target of rapamycin (serine/threonine kinase) (the HUGO-approved official symbol = MTOR; HGNC ID; HGNC:3942) also known as mammalian target of rapamycin mTOR or FK506-binding protein 12-rapamycin-associated protein 1 […]
Major basic protein
Proteoglycan 2 bone marrow (natural killer cell activator eosinophil granule major basic protein) also known as PRG2 is a protein which in humans is encoded by the PRG2 gene.
Interleukin 8
Interleukin 8 (IL-8) is a chemokine produced by macrophages and other cell types such as epithelial cells airway smooth muscle cells and endothelial cells. Endothelial cells store IL-8 in their […]
C-Met
c-Met (MET or MNNG HOS Transforming gene) is a proto-oncogene that encodes a protein known as hepatocyte growth factor receptor (HGFR). The hepatocyte growth factor receptor protein possesses tyrosine-kinase activity. […]
Glucose transporter
Glucose transporters are a wide group of membrane proteins that facilitate the transport of glucose over a plasma membrane. Because glucose is a vital source of energy for all life […]
