Hox genes play a fundamental role in the development of the vertebrate central nervous system, heart, axial skeleton, limbs, gut, urogenital tract and...
Cell cycle progression is controlled in part by a family of cyclin proteins and cyclin dependent kinases (Cdks). Cdk proteins work in concert with the...
Casein kinase I (also designated CKI) and casein kinase II (also designated CKII) compose a family of serine/threonine protein kinases which are present in...
The Yes-associated protein, otherwise known as YAP, is a 14-3-3-binding molecule that was originally recognized by virtue of its ability to bind to the SH3...
Heterochromatin protein 1 (HP1) is a family of heterochromatic adaptor molecules involved in both gene silencing and higher order chromatin structure. All...
GATA4 is a 46 kDa member of the GATA family of zinc finger containing transcription factors that is involved in the development of cardiac hypertrophy and...
Heterotrimeric G protein-mediated signal transduction is a dynamically regulated process with the intensity of signal decreasing over time despite the...
Src is the human homolog of the v-src gene of the Rous sarcoma virus, also known as avian sarcoma virus or ASV. Src is the first proto-oncogenic nonreceptor...
Stat 5a protein is a transcription factor activated by hormone and cytokines. Two highly related, but distinct Stat 5 genes (Stat 5a and Stat 5b) were...
Signal transducer and activator of transcription that mediates signaling by interferons (IFNs). Following type I IFN (IFN-alpha and IFN-beta) binding to cell...
4-1BB was originally described as a cDNA expressed by activated murine T cells and subsequently demonstrated to encode a member of the tumor necrosis factor...
HNF-1 (alpha and beta), HNF-3 (alpha, beta and gamma ), HNF-4 (alpha and gamma ), and HNF-6 compose, in part, a homoeprotein family designated the Hepatocyte...
BUD31 (protein G10 homolog, EDG-2) is a 144 amino acid protein encoded by the human gene BUD31. BUD31 is a nuclear protein that belongs to the BUD31 (G10)...
Members of the transforming growth factor beta superfamily bind to a pair of transmembrane proteins, known as receptor types I and II, which contain...
DNA replication, recombination and repair, all of which are necessary for genome stability, require the presence of exonucleases. In DNA replication, these...
