Proteins that directly bind to nascent RNA polymerase II transcripts, the heterogenous nuclear ribonucleoproteins (hnRNPs), play an important role in both...
Transcription factors containing a basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) motif regulate the expression of tissue-specific genes in a number of mammalian and insect...
The ligand for CD30 is CD30L (CD153). The binding of CD30 to CD30L mediates pleiotropic effects including cell proliferation, activation, differentiation,...
H2A.X is a member of the histone H2A family, 1 of 5 families of histone proteins involved in nucleosomal organization of chromatin. H2A.X is synthesised in...
Stem cell tyrosine kinase (STK-1) has been cloned from a CD34+ hematopoietic stem cell enriched library and identified as the human homolog of a previously...
HSL (hormone-sensitive lipase), a cytosolic neutral lipase regulated by reversible phosphorylation, catalyzes the rate limiting step in triglyceride...
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...
Fyn is a membrane-associated, non-receptor protein tyrosine kinase approximately 59kDa, which belongs to the Src family of cytoplasmic tyrosine kinases. Fyn...
Three Brn-3 proteins have been described and are designated Brn-3a, Brn-3b and Brn-3c. Brn-3a has two functional transactivating domains, one at the amino...
The bombesin receptor family includes the gastrin-releasing peptide (GRPR) and neuromedin B (NMBR) receptors. Both receptors are expressed in various brain...
Substance P (SP) and neurokinin-A (NK-A) are members of the tachykinins, and they function as modulators of the immune and hematopoietic systems. The...
The melanocortin family comprises the alpha-, beta- and gamma -melanocyte stimulating hormones (MSH) and adrenocorticotrophin. The receptors for these...
Histamine is an inflammatory mediator that is ubiquitously expressed and has a broad range of pharmacologic effects. Specifically, it plays a role in the...
The mGluR proteins (metabotropic glutamate receptors) are members of the G protein-coupled receptor family and are functionally and pharmacologically...
Glucagon, a pancreatic hormone, functions as an antagonist to insulin, stimulating the conversion of glycogen to glucose and increasing blood sugar levels....
The GABAB R receptor is a heterodimer that consists of two multi-pass membrane proteins, designated GABAB R1 and GABAB R2, both of which belong to the G...
The frizzled gene, originally identified in Drosophila melanogaster, is involved in the development of tissue polarity. The mammalian homolog of frizzled, as...
Receptor for Wnt proteins. Most of frizzled receptors are coupled to the beta catenin canonical signaling pathway, which leads to the activation of...
The cannabinoid receptors (CB1 and CB2) are G-protein coupled receptors that inhibit adenylate cyclase activity in response to psychoactive cannabinoids. CB1...
Cysteinyl leukotriene (CysLTs) induce intracellular calcium mobilization through the binding of two distinct seven-transmembrane, G protein-coupled...
