Neurofilaments (NF) are the 10 nanometer or intermediate filaments found in neurons. They are a major component of the neuronal cytoskeleton and are believed to function primarily to provide structural […]

Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) is a protein that is encoded by the GFAP gene in humans .Glial fibrillary acidic protein is an intermediate filament (IF) protein that is expressed […]

Peripherin is a type III Intermediate filament (IF) protein expressed mainly in neurons of the peripheral nervous system (PNS). It is also found in neurons of the central nervous system […]

Vimentin is a protein that in humans is encoded by the VIM gene.Vimentin is a type III intermediate filament (IF) protein that is expressed in mesenchymal cells. IF proteins are […]

Desmin is a protein that in humans is encoded by the DES gene.Desmin is a type III intermediate filament found near the Z line in sarcomeres. It was first described […]

Internexin alpha-internexin is a Class IV intermediate filament approximately 66 KDa. The protein was originally purified from rat optic nerve and spinal cord. The protein copurifies with other neurofilament subunits […]

EGR-1 (Early growth response protein 1) also known as Zif268 (zinc finger protein 225) or NGFI-A (nerve growth factor-induced protein A) is a protein that in humans is encoded by […]

Factor IX (or Christmas factor) (EC 3.4.21.22) is one of the serine proteases of the coagulation system; it belongs to peptidase family S1. Deficiency of this protein causes hemophilia B. […]

Adenosine deaminase (also known as adenosine aminhydrolase or ADA) is an enzyme (EC 3.5.4.4) involved in purine metabolism. It is needed for the breakdown of adenosine from food and for […]

Transposase is an enzyme that binds to the ends of a transposon and catalyzes the movement of the transposon to another part of the genome by a cut and paste […]
