Fas ligand
Fas ligand (FasL or CD95L) is a type-II transmembrane protein that belongs to the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) family. Its binding with its receptor induces apoptosis. Fas ligand/receptor interactions play […]
Rieske protein
Rieske proteins are iron-sulfur protein (ISP) components of cytochrome bc1 complexes and cytochrome b6f complexes which were first discovered and isolated by John S. Rieske and co-workers in 1964. It […]
Neuregulin
Neuregulins or neuroregulins are a family of four structurally related proteins that are part of the EGF family of proteins.
Cytochrome f
Cytochrome f is the largest subunit of cytochrome b6f complex (plastoquinol—plastocyanin reductase; EC 1.10.99.1). In its structure and functions the cytochrome b6f complex bears extensive analogy to the cytochrome bc1 […]
Dopamine receptor D4
The dopamine receptor D4 is a G protein-coupled receptor encoded by the DRD4 gene.As with other dopamine receptor subtypes the D4 receptor is activated by the neurotransmitter dopamine. It is […]
Angiomotin
Angiomotin is a protein that in humans is encoded by the AMOT gene.
P-selectin glycoprotein ligand-1
Selectin P ligand also known as SELPLG or CD162 (cluster of differentiation 162) is a human gene.SELPLG is the high affinity counter-receptor for P-selectin on myeloid cells and stimulated T […]
Cryptochrome
Cryptochromes (from the Greek κρυπτό χρώμα hidden colour) are a class of flavoproteins that are sensitive to blue light. They are found in plants and animals. Cryptochromes are involved in […]
Protease-activated receptor
Protease-activated receptors are a subfamily of related G protein-coupled receptors that are activated by cleavage of part of their extracellular domain. They are highly expressed in platelets but also on […]
