Cytochrome b-245 heavy chain also known as cytochrome b(558) subunit beta or NADPH oxidase 2 or Nox2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CYBB gene. The […]

CTLA-4 (Cytotoxic T-Lymphocyte Antigen 4) also known as CD152 (Cluster of differentiation 152) is a protein receptor that downregulates the immune system. CTLA4 is found on the surface of T […]

AngiotensinI-converting enzyme 2 (ACE 2) is an exopeptidase that catalyses the conversion of angiotensin I to the nonapeptide angiotensin[1-9] or the conversion of angiotensin II to angiotensin 1-7. ACE 2 […]

DNA replication licensing factor MCM6 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MCM6 gene. MCM6 is one of the highly conserved mini-chromosome maintenance proteins (MCM) that are […]

Interferon gamma (IFNγ) is a dimerized soluble cytokine that is the only member of the type II class of interferons. The existence of this interferon which early in its history […]

NANOG (pron. nanOg) is a transcription factor critically involved with self-renewal of undifferentiated embryonic stem cells. In humans this protein is encoded by the NANOG gene.

Opioid peptides are short sequences of amino acids that bind to opioid receptors in the brain; opiates and opioids mimic the effect of these peptides. Opioid peptides may be produced […]

Interleukin 9 also known as IL-9 is a cytokine (cell signalling molecule) belonging to the group of interleukins.

The death-effector domain (DED) is a protein interaction domain found to regulate a variety of cellular signalling pathways. The DED domain is found in inactive procaspases (cysteine proteases) and proteins […]

Apyrase (EC 3.6.1.5 ATP-diphosphatase adenosine diphosphatase ADPase ATP diphosphohydrolase) is a calcium-activated plasma membrane-bound enzyme (magnesium can also activate it) (EC 3.6.1.5) that catalyses the hydrolysis of ATP to yield […]
