Hypoxia-inducible factors
Hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs) are transcription factors that respond to changes in available oxygen in the cellular environment to be specific to decreases in oxygen or hypoxia.
ROMK
The renal outer medullary potassium channel (ROMK) is an ATP-dependent potassium channel (Kir1.1) that transports potassium out of cells. It plays an important role in potassium recycling in the thick […]
Rictor
Rictor (Julio Esteban Ric Richter) is a fictional comic book superhero in the Marvel Universe who appears in the X-Men family of books published by Marvel Comics. He was created […]
Microcin
Microcins are very small bacteriocins composed of a relatively few peptides. For this reason they are distinct from their larger protein cousins. The classic example is microcin V of E. […]
ADAMTS13
ADAMTS13 (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with a thrombospondin type 1 motif member 13)—also known as von Willebrand factor-cleaving protease (VWFCP)—is a zinc-containing metalloprotease enzyme that cleaves von Willebrand factor (vWf) […]
Brazzein
Brazzein is a sweet-tasting protein extracted from the West African fruit of the climbing plant Oubli (Pentadiplandra brazzeana Baillon). It was first isolated as an enzyme by University of Wisconsin–Madison […]
GABAA-rho receptor
The GABAA-rho receptor (previously known as the GABAC receptor) is a subclass of GABAA receptors composed entirely of rho (ρ) subunits. GABAA receptors including those of the ρ-subclass are ligand-gated […]
NF-κB
NF-κB (nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells) is a protein complex that controls transcription of DNA. NF-κB is found in almost all animal cell types and is involved in […]
Synaptobrevin
Synaptobrevins (synaptobrevin isotypes 1-2) are small integral membrane proteins of secretory vesicles with molecular weight of 18 kilodalton (kDa) that are part of the vesicle-associated membrane protein (VAMP) family.Synaptobrevin is […]
