The KRAS gene encodes the human cellular homolog of a transforming gene isolated from the Kirsten rat sarcoma virus. The RAS proteins are GDP/GTP-binding...
The small Ras-related protein Ran, also called TC4, is a 24 kDa, nuclear localized GTPase implicated in a diverse array of cellular processes including DNA...
Several serine/threonine protein kinases have been implicated as intermediates in signal transduction pathways. These include ERK/MAP kinases, ribosomal S6...
Pyk2 is a protein tyrosine kinase related to Focal Adhesion Kinase (p125 FAK). Pyk2 is highly expressed in the central nervous system. It is phosphorylated...

Prostate specific antigen (PSA), also designated gamma -seminoprotein, seminin, p30 antigen, semenogelase and kallikrein 3 (KLK3), was first identified as a...
Prostate stem cell antigen (PSCA) is a 123 amino acid glycosylated protein that shares homology with the Thy-1/Ly-6 family of glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol...
Aberrant regulation of any of these cell processes can result in cancer. Cell death during embryogenesis, tissue atrophy and normal tissue turnover is called...
The effects of progesterone are mediated by two functionally different isoforms of the progesterone receptor, PR-A and PR-B, which are transcribed from...
A novel protein, designated Presenilin 1 (also designated S182) and mapping to the AD3 locus of chromosome 14q24.3, has been described. Mutations in the gene...
Voltage-gated K+ channels in the plasma membrane control the repolarization and the frequency of action potentials in neurons, muscles and other excitable...
The PML protein is a zinc finger transcription factor expressed as three major transcription products due to alternative splicing. The gene encoding human...
