Ribonuclease (commonly abbreviated RNase) is a type of nuclease that catalyzes the degradation of RNA into smaller components. Ribonucleases can be divided into endoribonucleases and exoribonucleases and comprise several sub-classes […]

Somatostatin
Somatostatin (also known as growth hormone-inhibiting hormone (GHIH) or somatotropin release-inhibiting factor (SRIF)) or somatotropin release-inhibiting hormone[citation needed] is a peptide hormone that regulates the endocrine system and affects neurotransmission […]
Serotonin transporter
The serotonin transporter (aka SERT or 5-HTT) is a type of monoamine transporter protein that transports serotonin from the synaptic cleft to the presynaptic neuron.This transport of serotonin by the […]
Lantibiotics
Lantibiotics are a class of peptide antibiotics that contain the characteristic polycyclic thioether amino acids lanthionine or methyllanthionine as well as the unsaturated amino acids dehydroalanine and 2-aminoisobutyric acid.Lanthionine is […]
Atrial natriuretic peptide
Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) atrial natriuretic hormone (ANH) Cardionatrine Cardiodilatine (CDD) or atriopeptin is a powerful vasodilator and a protein (polypeptide) hormone secreted by heart muscle […]
Hsp70
The 70 kilodalton heat shock proteins (Hsp70s) are a family of conserved ubiquitously expressed heat shock proteins. Proteins with similar structure exist in virtually all living organisms. The Hsp70s are […]
Thyroglobulin
Thyroglobulin (Tg) is a 660 kDa dimeric protein produced by and used entirely within the thyroid gland. Tg bound to T3 and/or T4 is sometimes called a colloid.Thyroglobulin should not […]
Transcortin
Transcortin also known as corticosteroid-binding globulin (CBG) or serpin A6 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SERPINA6 gene. It is an alpha-globulin.
Transferrin
Transferrins are iron-binding blood plasma glycoproteins that control the level of free iron in biological fluids. Human transferrin is encoded by the TF gene.Transferrin glycoproteins bind iron very tightly but […]
Ferritin
Ferritin is a ubiquitous intracellular protein that stores iron and releases it in a controlled fashion. The protein is produced by almost all living organisms including algae bacteria higher plants […]
