Interleukin 4 abbreviated IL-4 is a cytokine that induces differentiation of naive helper T cells (Th0 cells) to Th2 cells. Upon activation by IL-4 Th2 cells subsequently produce additional IL-4. […]

Amyloid precursor protein (APP) is an integral membrane protein expressed in many tissues and concentrated in the synapses of neurons. Its primary function is not known though it has been […]

Amyloid-beta (Aβ or Abeta) denotes peptides of 36–43 amino acids that are crucially involved in Alzheimer’s disease as the main component of the amyloid plaques found in the brains of […]

cGMP-dependent protein kinase or Protein Kinase G (PKG) is a serine/threonine-specific protein kinase that is activated by cGMP. It phosphorylates a number of biologically important targets and is implicated in […]

Interleukin 12 (IL-12) is an interleukin that is naturally produced by dendritic cells macrophages and human B-lymphoblastoid cells (NC-37) in response to antigenic stimulation.

hERG (the human Ether-à-go-go-Related Gene) is a gene (KCNH2) that codes for a protein known as Kv11.1 the alpha subunit of a potassium ion channel. This ion channel (sometimes simply […]

A conotoxin is one of a group of neurotoxic peptides isolated from the venom of the marine cone snail genus Conus.Conotoxins which are peptides consisting of 10 to 30 amino […]

Trehalase is a glycoside hydrolase enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of trehalose to glucose. It is found in most animals.The non-reducing disaccharide trehalose (α-D-glucopyranosyl-11-α-D-glucopyranoside) is one of the most important […]

FOXP3 (forkhead box P3) also known as scurfin is a protein involved in immune system responses.

Nitrilase enzymes (nitrile aminohydrolase; EC 3.5.5.1) catalyse the hydrolysis of nitriles to carboxylic acids and ammonia without the formation of free amide intermediates. Nitrilases are involved in natural product biosynthesis […]
