Prokaryotic phospholipase A2
The prokaryotic phospholipase A2 domain is found in bacterial and fungal phospholipases. It enables the liberation of fatty acids and lysophospholipid by hydrolyzing the 2-ester bond of 12-diacyl-3-sn-phosphoglycerides. The domain […]
MAPEG family
In molecular biology the MAPEG (Membrane-Associated Proteins in Eicosanoid and Glutathione metabolism) family of proteins are a group of membrane associated proteins with highly divergent functions.
Heat-stable enterotoxin
Heat-stable enterotoxins (STs) are secretory peptides produced by some bacterial strains such as enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli which are in general toxic to animals.These peptides keep their 3D structure and remain […]
Calcium-binding protein 1
Calcium binding protein 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CABP1 gene. Calcium-binding protein 1 is a calcium-binding protein discovered in 1999. It has two EF […]
Gurmarin
Gurmarin is a 35-residue polypeptide from the Asclepiad vine Gymnema sylvestre (Gurmar). It has been utilised as a pharmacological tool in the study of sweet-taste transduction because of its ability […]
Spider toxin
Spider toxins are a family of proteins produced by spiders which function as neurotoxins. The mechanism of many spider toxins is through blockage of calcium channels.A remotely related group of […]
High potential iron-sulfur protein
High potential iron-sulfur proteins (HIPIP) are a specific class of high-redox potential 4Fe-4S ferredoxins that functions in anaerobic electron transport and which occurs in photosynthetic bacteria and in Paracoccus denitrificans. […]
DRG1
Developmentally-regulated GTP-binding protein 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the DRG1 gene.
Arthropod defensin
Arthropod defensins are a family of insect and scorpion cysteine-rich antibacterial peptides primarily active against Gram-positive bacteria. All these peptides range in length from 38 to 51 amino acids. There […]
