Keratin 1
Keratin 1 is a member of the keratin family. It is specifically expressed in the spinous and granular layers of the epidermis with family member keratin 10. Mutations in this […]
Plasmin
Plasmin is an important enzyme (EC 3.4.21.7) present in blood that degrades many blood plasma proteins including fibrin clots. The degradation of fibrin is termed fibrinolysis. In humans the plasmin […]
HMG-CoA reductase
HMG-CoA reductase (or 3-hydroxy-3-methyl-glutaryl-CoA reductase or HMGCR) is the rate-controlling enzyme (EC 1.1.1.88& EC 1.1.1.34) of the mevalonate pathway the metabolic pathway that produces cholesterol and other isoprenoids. Normally in […]
Enoyl CoA isomerase
Enoyl-CoA-(∆) isomerase also known as dodecenoyl-CoA-(∆) isomerase 32-trans-enoyl-CoA isomerase ∆3(cis)∆2(trans)-enoyl-CoA isomerase or acetylene-allene isomerase (EC 5.3.3.8) is an enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of cis-or trans-double bonds of fatty acids […]

Ghrelin /ˈɡrɛlɪn/ the hunger hormone is a hormone produced by ghrelin cells lining the stomach and intestine and epsilon cells in the pancreas. It stimulates the appetite when the stomach […]
Hsp90
Hsp90 (heat shock protein 90) is a chaperone protein that assists other proteins to fold properly stabilizes proteins against heat stress and aids in protein degradation. It also stabilizes a […]
Myostatin
Myostatin (also known as growth differentiation factor 8 abbreviated GDF-8) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MSTN gene. Myostatin is a secreted growth differentiation factor that […]
Elastin
Elastin is a protein in connective tissue that is elastic and allows many tissues in the body to resume their shape after stretching or contracting. Elastin helps skin to return […]
Cholecystokinin receptor
Cholecystokinin receptors or CCK receptors are a group of G-protein coupled receptors which bind the peptide hormones cholecystokinin (CCK) or gastrin. There are two different subtypes CCKA and CCKB which […]
