This gene encodes a member of the IgLON subfamily in the immunoglobulin protein superfamily. The encoded protein is localized in the plasma membrane and may...
Neurotrophins function to regulate naturally occurring cell death of neurons during development. The prototype neurotrophin is nerve growth factor (NGF),...
The inhibin beta B subunit joins the alpha subunit to form a pituitary FSH secretion inhibitor. Inhibin has been shown to regulate gonadal stromal cell...
Growth Regulated Protein gamma (GRO gamma) is a cytokine that may play a role in inflammation and affects endothelial cells in an autocrine fashion. It...
Olfactory receptors are G protein-coupled receptors that localize to the cilia of olfactory sensory neurons where they display affinity for and bind to a...
The GRO gene was originally identified by subtractive hybridization studies between normal and tumorigenic Chinese hamster embryo fibroblasts. The hamster...
Adiponectin, also termed AdipoQ, Acrp30, apM1 and GBP28, is an adipokine expressed exclusively in brown and white adipocytes. It is secreted into the blood...
The HSP 70 family is composed of four highly conserved proteins: HSP 70, HSC 70, GRP 75 and GRP 78. These proteins serve a variety of roles: they act as...
RUNX2 (Runt-related transcription Factor) is a transcription factor that binds to its canonical consensus sequence 5
Angiopoietin-1 (Ang-1) is a secreted ligand for Tie-2. Preliminary biochemical analyses of Ang-1 reveal a potential Fibrinogen-like domain at the...
Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI 3-kinase) is composed of p85 and p110 subunits. p85 lacks PI 3-kinase activity and acts as an adapter, coupling p110 to...
NGFR p75 is a 75kD transmembrane glycoprotein (399 a.a.) consisting of an extracellular domain (222 a.a.) which contains four cysteine rich domains...
Two forms of interleukin-1, designated IL-1alpha and IL-1beta, have been described. Although encoded by distinct genes and exhibiting roughly only 25%...
CD31 (Platelet Endothelial Cell Adhesion Molecule-1: PECAM-1), a member of the Ig superfamily of cell adhesion molecules, is expressed by circulating...
Neurotensin (NT) initiates an intracellular response by interacting with the G protein-coupled receptors NTR1 (NTS1 receptor, high affinity NTR) and NTR2...
Neurotensin (NT) initiates an intracellular response by interacting with the G protein-coupled receptors NTR1 (NTS1 receptor, high affinity NTR) and NTR2...
Pancreatic polypeptide (PP), neuropeptide Y (NPY), and peptide YY (PYY) are related 36-amino acid hormones. A number of structurally related receptors for...
A gene on chromosome 4q31 encodes a 381 amino acid protein, NPY2-R(also designated Neuropeptide Y receptor Y2). NPY2-R is a member of the Gprotein-coupled...
The melatonin receptors, MEL-1A-R and MEL-1B-R, are members of the superfamily of guanine nucleotide-binding regulatory protein (G protein)-coupled...
The steroid progesterone induces the resumption of maturation in oocytes via a nongenomic pathway through binding to a novel, membrane progestin receptor...
