The catenins, alpha, beta and gamma , are proteins which bind to the highly conserved, intracellular cytoplasmic tail of E-cadherin. Together, the...
beta-Catenin is a key downstream effector in the Wnt signaling pathway. It is implicated in two major biological processes in vertebrates: early embryonic...
Heterotrimeric G protein-mediated signal transduction is a dynamically regulated process with the intensity of signal decreasing over time despite the...
CstF-64 contains an RNA binding domain and is responsible for the RNA binding activity of CstF. CstF-64 is expressed in all somatic cells and in pre- and...
Ets-1 is the prototype member of a family of genes identified on the basis of homology to the v-Ets oncogene isolated from the E26 erythroblastosis virus....
AKT, also known as protein kinase B (PKB), is a 57 kDa serine/threonine protein kinase. There are three mammalian isoforms of Akt: AKT1 (PKB alpha), AKT2...
The homeobox gene HOXA11, also designated homeobox 1I (HOX1I), belongs to the AbdB homeobox family. HoxA11 is necessary for fertility in females as it is a...
Cyclophilins are conserved, ubiquitous and abundant cytosolic peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerases that accelerate the isomerization of XaaPro peptide bonds...
Nucleoside monophosphate kinases are required for pharmacological activation of therapeutic nucleosides and nucleotide analogs. CMPK (Cytidine monophosphate...
Seven complementation groups (A-G) of xeroderma pigmentosum have been described. The xeroderma pigmentosum group A protein, XPA, is a zinc metalloprotein...
The role of transcription factors in the regulation of gene expression is well established. Although the activity of these factors can be regulated by...
Required for activity of the Ah (dioxin) receptor. This protein is required for the ligand-binding subunit to translocate from the cytosol to the nucleus...
c-TAK1 (Cdc25C associated protein kinase) phosphorylates Cdc25C on Ser 216 and is ubiquitously expressed in various human tissue and cell lines. C-TAK1 is...
The activation of signal transduction pathways by growth factors, hormones and neurotransmitters is mediated through two closely related MAP kinases, p44 and...
High mobility group (HMG) proteins 1 and 2 are ubiquitous non-histone components of chromatin. Evidence suggests that the binding of HMG proteins to DNA...
The Elav-like genes encode for a family of RNA-binding proteins. Elav, a Drosophila protein and the first described member, is expressed immediately after...
Pentraxins are a protein superfamily that is characterized by a cyclic multimeric structure. Ptx3, also known as tumor necrosis factor-stimulated gene...
The CCAAT-binding factor NF-Y is a heteromeric transcription factor that specifically binds to CCAAT sequences in many eukaryotic genes. NF-Y is made up of...
Heterotrimeric G protein-mediated signal transduction is a dynamically regulated process with the intensity of signal decreasing over time despite the...
AKAPs (A-kinase anchoring proteins), as their name implies, are a family of scaffolding proteins that bind regulatory subunits of Protein Kinase A (PKA) thus...
