COUP (chicken ovalbumin upstream promoter) transcription factors have been cloned in several species and identified as orphan members of the steroid/thyroid...
Diacylglycerol kinases (DGKs) phosphorylate diacylglycerol (DAG) to produce phosphatidic acid. DAG and phosphatidic acid are lipids that act as second...
Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (Ins(1,4,5)P3) regulates the level of calcium within the cell by releasing calcium from intracellular stores. Ins(1,4,5)P3 is...
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...
p70 S6 kinase is a mitogen activated Ser/Thr protein kinase that is required for cell growth and G1 cell cycle progression. p70 S6 kinase phosphorylates the...
Differentiation of myogenic cells is regulated by multiple positively and negatively acting factors. One well characterized family of helix-loop-helix (HLH)...
Activation of PKA occurs when cAMP binds to the two regulatory subunits of the tetrameric PKA holoenzyme resulting in release of active catalytic subunits....
Heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoproteins (hnRNPs) constitute a set of poly-peptides that contribute to mRNA transcription and pre-mRNA processing as well as...
Activation of PKA occurs when cAMP binds to the two regulatory subunits of the tetrameric PKA holoenzyme resulting in release of active catalytic subunits....
The Eph subfamily represents the largest group of receptor protein tyrosine kinases identified to date. While the biological activities of these receptors...
The PITSLRE beta1 protein, a distantly related member of the Cdk family of protein kinases, induces apoptosis after low levels of ectopic expression....
The Eph subfamily represents the largest group of receptor protein kinases identified to date. There is increasing evidence that Eph family members are...
Receptor with high affinity for TNFSF2/TNF-alpha and approximately 5-fold lower affinity for homotrimeric TNFSF1/lymphotoxin-alpha. The TRAF1/TRAF2 complex...
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....
Hexokinases phosphorylate glucose to produce glucose-6-phosphate, the first step in most glucose metabolism pathways. This gene encodes a ubiquitous form of...
Eukaryotic gene transcription is regulated by sequence-specific transcription factors that bind modular cis acting promoter and enhancer elements. The ATF/...
Alpha-2C adrenergic receptors (alpha2C-AR) regulate neurotransmitter release from sympathetic nerves in the heart, and from adrenergic neurons in the central...
Egr proteins function in transcription regulatory activities surrounding cellular growth, differentiation and function. The deduced amino acid sequences of...
Phosphofructokinase (PFK) catalyzes the phosphorylation of fructose-6-phosphate in glycolysis. There are three isozymes: muscle-type, liver-type, and...
C/EBP beta is a member of the C/EBP transcription factor family. The C/EBP beta gene encodes several isoforms, which have truncated transcription activation...
