Human MTM1, a 603 amino-acid protein, is mutated in myotubular myopathy. The largely related protein hMTMR2 is found mutated in a recessive form of...
Vasopressin (AVP), the antidiuretic hormone, is a cyclic nonpeptide that is involved in the regulation of body fluid osmolality. AVP mediates its effects...
The sense of taste is essential for the survival of organisms. For example, the ability to identify sweet-tasting foods enables animals to seek out food with...
The sense of taste provides animals with valuable information about the quality and nutritional value of food. A family of G protein-coupled receptors are...
GPR91 (formerly known as P2U2) is a G protein-coupled, dicarboxylic acid succinate receptor. It has a high level of expression in the kidney, predominantly...
Relaxins are endocrine and autocrine/paracrine hormones belonging to the insulin gene superfamily. In several mammalian species, relaxin is best known for...
G protein-coupled receptors (GPRs or GPCRs), also known as seven transmembrane receptors, heptahelical receptors or 7TM receptors, are members of the largest...
The prokineticin receptors, PKR1 (GPR73a) and PKR2 (GPR73b), are G proteincoupled receptors responsible for mediating the signal transduction of both EG-VEGF...
Prostaglandin E2, a member of the autacoid family of lipid mediators, is a major renal cyclooxygenase product of arachidonic acid metabolism. Prostaglandin...
The product of this gene belongs to the family of G-protein coupled receptors. This family has several receptor subtypes with different pharmacological...
SAM68 is recruited and tyrosine phosphorylated by several receptor systems, and once it is phosphorylated, it functions as an adapter protein in signal...
The inositol polyphosphate 5-phosphatases selectively remove the phosphate from the 5-position of various phosphatidylinositols, which generate second...
The SWI-SNF complex is involved in the activation of transcription via the remodeling of nucleosome structure in an ATP-dependent manner. Brm (also...
The cell division cycle (Cdc) genes are required at various points in the cell cycle. Cdc25A, Cdc25B and Cdc25C protein tyrosine phosphatases function as...
FAS (Fatty Acid Synthase) is a central enzyme in de novo lipogenesis. FAS is a target for SREBP and is upregulated by LXR activation; it is also one of the...
TTF1 is a transcription factor that binds and activates the promoter of thyroid specific genes such as thyroglobulin, thyroperoxidase, and thyrotropin...
MTHFR catalyzes the conversion of 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate to 5-methyltetrahydrofolate, a co-substrate for homocysteine remethylation to methionine....
NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1) is a flavoprotein that catalyzes the two-electron reduction of quinones and their derivatives. This enzyme protects...
Tamm-Horsfall glycoprotein (also referred to as uromodulin or THP) is the most abundant protein found in normal urine. THP is expressed on the luminal...
TCR (T cell antigen receptor) recognizes foreign antigens and translates such recognition events into intracellular signals that elicit a change in the cell...
