Laminins are major proteins in the basal lamina (one of the layers of the basement membrane) a protein network foundation for most cells and organs. The laminins are an important […]

CD1 (cluster of differentiation 1) is a family of glycoproteins expressed on the surface of various human antigen-presenting cells. They are related to the class I MHC molecules and are […]

Cyclophilins are a family of proteins from vertebrates and other organisms that bind to cyclosporine an immunosuppressant which is usually used to suppress rejection after internal organ transplants. These proteins […]

Hirudin is a naturally occurring peptide in the salivary glands of medicinal leeches (such as Hirudo medicinalis) that has a blood anticoagulant property. This is fundamental for the leeches’ alimentary […]

Annexin is a common name for a group of cellular proteins. They are mostly found in eukaryotic organisms (animal plant and fungi).In humans the annexins are found inside the cell. […]

GABAB receptors (GABABR) are metabotropic transmembrane receptors for gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) that are linked via G-proteins to potassium channels. The changing potassium concentrations hyperpolarize the cell at the end of […]

Ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM) is a serine/threonine protein kinase that is recruited and activated by DNA double-strand breaks. It phosphorylates several key proteins that initiate activation of the DNA damage […]

Taq polymerase /ˌtæk ˈpɒlɨməreɪz/ is a thermostable DNA polymerase named after the thermophilic bacterium Thermus aquaticus from which it was originally isolated by Thomas D. Brock in 1965. It is […]

The histamine H4 receptor is like the other three histamine receptors a member of the G protein-coupled receptor superfamily.

Agouti-related protein also called Agouti-related peptide (AgRP) is a neuropeptide produced in the brain by the AgRP/NPY neuron. It is only synthesised in NPY-containing cell bodies located in the ventromedial […]
