The Laminins comprise a growing family of disulfide-linked heterotrimers consisting of three genetically distinct polypeptide chains, designated alpha, beta...
DNA mismatch repair (MMR) is essential for maintaining the integrity of the genome during replication. This process is highly conserved across bacterial and...
Interleukin-1 receptor (IL1R)-associated kinases (IRAKs) are important mediators in the signal transduction of Toll-like receptor (TLR) and IL1R family...
c-Jun NH2-terminal kinases (JNKs) are distant members of the MAP kinase family. JNK1 is activated by dual phosphorylation at a Thr-Pro-Tyr motif in response...
The members of the inositol hexakisphosphate kinase family, IP6K1 and IP6K2, have a high affinity and selectivity for inositol hexakisphosphate (InsP6) as a...
Several mammalian kinases have been identified which exhibit sequence similarity to the Saccharomyces cerevisiae serine/threonine kinase STE20. STE20 is...
The closely related MAGUK proteins, MAGI-1, MAGI-2 and MAGI-3 (membrane associated guanylate kinase inverted-1 and 2), likewise contain the GuK domain and...
Serine/arginine-rich protein 75 (SRp75) is encoded by the SRSF4 gene. SRp75 belongs to the arginine/serine-rich factor family and likely plays a role in...
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...
