CD8
CD8 (cluster of differentiation 8) is a transmembrane glycoprotein that serves as a co-receptor for the T cell receptor (TCR). Like the TCR CD8 binds to a major histocompatibility complex […]
Phospholamban
Phospholamban also known as PLN or PLB is a protein that in humans is encoded by the PLN gene. Phospholamban is a 52-amino acid integral membrane protein that regulates the […]
CD34
CD34 molecule is a cluster of differentiation molecule present on certain cells within the human body. It is a cell surface glycoprotein and functions as a cell-cell adhesion factor. It […]
Hepatocyte nuclear factor 4
HNF4 (Hepatocyte Nuclear Factor 4) is a nuclear receptor protein mostly expressed in the liver gut kidney and pancreatic beta cells that is critical for liver development. In humans there […]
Vinculin
In mammalian cells vinculin is a membrane-cytoskeletal protein in focal adhesion plaques that is involved in linkage of integrin adhesion molecules to the actin cytoskeleton. Discovered independently by Benny Geiger […]
Phycobilisome
Phycobilisomes are light harvesting antennae of photosystem II in cyanobacteria red algae and glaucophytes.
Androgen receptor
The androgen receptor (AR) also known as NR3C4 (nuclear receptor subfamily 3 group C member 4) is a type of nuclear receptor that is activated by binding of either of […]
Progesterone receptor
The progesterone receptor (PR also known as NR3C3 or nuclear receptor subfamily 3 group C member 3) is a protein found inside cells. It is activated by the steroid hormone […]
P73
p73 is a protein related to the p53 tumor protein. Because of its structural resemblance to p53 it has also been considered a tumor suppressor. It is involved in cell […]
