Catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT; EC 2.1.1.6) is one of several enzymes that degrade catecholamines such as dopamine epinephrine and norepinephrine. In humans catechol-O-methyltransferase protein is encoded by the COMT gene. As the […]

Cyclins are a family of proteins that control the progression of cells through the cell cycle by activating cyclin-dependent kinase (Cdk) enzymes.

Bcl-2 (B-cell lymphoma 2) encoded in humans by the BCL2 gene is the founding member of the Bcl-2 family of regulator proteins that regulate cell death (apoptosis) by either inducing […]

An aminoacyl tRNA synthetase (aaRS) is an enzyme that catalyzes the esterification of a specific amino acid or its precursor to one of all its compatible cognate tRNAs to form […]
