Enkephalin
An enkephalin is a pentapeptide involved in regulating nociception in the body. The enkephalins are termed endogenous ligands as they are internally derived and bind to the body’s opioid receptors. […]
Thioredoxin
Thioredoxin is a class of small redox proteins known to be present in all organisms. It plays a role in many important biological processes including redox signaling. In humans it […]
Ferredoxin
Ferredoxins (from Latin ferrum: iron + redox often abbreviated fd) are iron-sulfur proteins that mediate electron transfer in a range of metabolic reactions. The term ferredoxin was coined by D.C. […]
Hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase
Hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (HGPRT) is an enzyme encoded in humans by the HPRT1 gene.HGPRT is a transferase that catalyzes conversion of hypoxanthine to inosine monophosphate and guanine to guanosine monophosphate. This […]
CD36
CD36 (Cluster of Differentiation 36) also known as FAT (fatty acid translocase) FAT/CD36 (FAT)/CD36 SCARB3 GP88 glycoprotein IV (gpIV) and glycoprotein IIIb (gpIIIb) is an integral membrane protein found on […]
Complement receptor 1
Complement receptor type 1 (CR1) also known as C3b/C4b receptor or CD35 (cluster of differentiation 35) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CR1 gene.This gene is […]
CA-125
CA-125 (cancer antigen 125 carcinoma antigen 125 or carbohydrate antigen 125) also known as mucin 16 or MUC16 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MUC16 gene. […]
Melittin
Melittin is the principal active component of apitoxin (bee venom) and is a powerful stimulator of phospholipase A2. Melittin is a peptide consisting of 26 amino acids with the sequence […]
Photosystem II
Photosystem II (or water-plastoquinone oxidoreductase) is the first protein complex in the light-dependent reactions of oxygenic photosynthesis. It is located in the thylakoid membrane of plants algae and cyanobacteria. The […]
