Corticotropin-releasing factor family
Corticotropin-releasing factor CRF is a family of related neuropeptides in vertebrates. This family includes corticotropin-releasing hormone urotensin-I urocortin and sauvagine. The family can be grouped into 2 separate paralogous lineages […]
Sonic hedgehog
Sonic hedgehog is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SHH (sonic hedgehog) gene. Both the gene and the protein may also be found notated alternatively as Shh.Sonic […]
Gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase
Gamma-glutamyl transferase or gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (also γ-glutamyl transferase GGT GGTP gamma-GT) (EC 2.3.2.2) is an enzyme that transfers gamma-glutamyl functional groups. It is found in many tissues the most notable […]
Signal recognition particle
The signal recognition particle (SRP) is an abundant cytosolic universally conserved ribonucleoprotein (protein-RNA complex) that recognizes and targets specific proteins to the endoplasmic reticulum in eukaryotes and the plasma membrane […]
Aquaporin
Aquaporins are integral membrane proteins from a larger family of major intrinsic proteins (MIP) that form pores in the membrane of biological cells.Genetic defects involving aquaporin genes have been associated […]
Thyroid-stimulating hormone
Thyroid-stimulating hormone (also known as thyrotropin TSH or hTSH for human TSH) is a hormone that stimulates the thyroid gland to produce thyroxine (T4) and then triiodothyronine (T3) which stimulates […]
Follicle-stimulating hormone
Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) is a hormone found in humans and other animals. It is synthesized and secreted by gonadotrophs of the anterior pituitary gland. FSH regulates the development growth pubertal […]
Crystallin
In anatomy a crystallin is a water-soluble structural protein found in the lens and the cornea of the eye accounting for the transparency of the structure. It has also been […]
Thaumatin
Thaumatin is a low-calorie sweetener and flavour modifier. The protein is often used primarily for its flavour-modifying properties and not exclusively as a sweetener.The thaumatins were first found as a […]
