Phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C (PLC) plays a crucial role in the initiation of receptor mediated signal transduction through the generation of the...
IRS-1, a major substrate of the insulin receptor, is phosphorylated in response to stimulation of cells by insulin, insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) and...
The c-Fos oncogene was initially detected in two independent murine osteosarcoma virus isolates and an avian nephroblastoma virus. The cellular homolog,...
EOMES (eomesodermin homolog), also known as TBR2 (T-box-brain2), is the 686 amino acid human homolog of the mouse Eomes protein that contains one T-box...
The PKM2 (pyruvate kinase, muscle) gene encodes the M1- and M2-type isoenzymes through alternative splicing events. Both M1- and M2-type isoforms exists as...
Mox1 and the glycoprotein gp91-phox are largely related proteins that are essential components of the NADPH oxidase. The superoxide-generating NADPH oxidase...
Differentiation of myogenic cells is regulated by multiple positively and negatively acting factors. One well characterized family of helix-loop-helix (HLH)...
Macrophage migration inhibitory factor, known as MIF or glycosylation-inhibiting factor, is a secreted, homotrimeric, pro-inflammatory cytokine that...
SMYD2 (SET and MYND domain containing 2), also known as KMT3C, HSKM-B or ZMYND14, is a 433 amino acid protein that contains one SET domain and one MYND-type...
The homeobox genes encode a family of transcription factors that regulate development and postnatal tissue homeostasis. Encoded by the HOXB4 gene, the...
In mammalian cells, translation is controlled at the level of polypeptide chain initiation by eukaryotic initiation factors. The translation initiation...
CD79 (also designated Ig alpha/Ig beta) is a heterodimer composed of alpha chains,designated CD79A or MB-1, and beta chains, designated CD79B or B29. The B...
CD24 is a GPI-linked membrane sialoglycoprotein that is expressed on pro-B,pre-B and mature B cells, and its expression is decreased after B cell...
The mammalian Runt-related transcription factor (RUNX) family comprises three members, RUNX1 (also designated AML-1, PEBP2alphaB, CBFA2), RUNX2 (also...
In eukaryotes, DNA is wrapped around histone octamers to form the basic unit of chromatin structure. The octamer is composed of histones H2A, H2B, H3 and H4,...
Histone H3 is primarily acetylated at Lys9, 14, 18, 23, 27 and 56. Acetylation of H3 at Lys9 appears to have a dominant role in histone deposition and...
Cathepsin G is a serine protease, it consisting of a single polypeptide with a molecular weight of 30 kDa as determined by SDS-PAGE. Its substrates are...
Caspase 3 (also known as CPP32, YAMA and apopain) is the most extensively studied apoptotic protein among caspase family members. Caspase 3 is synthesized as...
Caspase-2 (Nedd2, ICH-1) is an aspartate-specific cysteine protease that is activated in response to various apoptotic stimuli. Caspase-2 is unique among the...
Caspase-1 (interleukin-1 beta convertase) belongs to the Interleukin-1-beta converting enzyme subfamily of caspases which mediate many features of apoptosis,...
