beta-Catenin is a key downstream effector in the Wnt signaling pathway. It is implicated in two major biological processes in vertebrates: early embryonic...
Caspase 9 (also known as ICE like apoptotic protease 6 (ICE LAP6), apoptotic protease Mch6, and apoptotic protease activating factor 3 (Apaf3)) is a member...
Caspase-1 (interleukin-1 beta convertase) belongs to the Interleukin-1-beta converting enzyme subfamily of caspases which mediate many features of apoptosis,...
The calcium sensing receptor (CaSR) has been shown to play a major role in regulating parathyroid hormone secretion and subsequently influencing the calcium...
The Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinases (CaM kinases) comprise a structurally related subfamily of serine/threonine kinases which include CaMKI, CaMKII...
DRE is a regulatory sequence that silences basal transcription and is localized to the promoter region of the gene encoding human prodynorphin, an opioid...
The Bcl-2 gene was isolated at the chromosomal breakpoint of t-bearing follicular B cell lymphomas. Bcl-2 blocks cell death following a variety of stimuli...
Bad is a member of the Bcl2 family and acts to promote apoptosis by forming heterodimers with the survival proteins Bcl2 and BclxL, thus preventing them from...
Aurora kinases belong to a highly conserved family of mitotic serine/threonine kinases with three members identified among mammals: Aurora A, B, and C....
Many isoforms of aquaporin have been identified in mammals, designated AQP0 through AQP10. Aquaporins are widely distributed and it is not uncommon for more...
AML1 (also known as Runx1, CBFA2, and PEBP2alphaB) is a member of the core binding factor (CBF) family of transcription factors. It is required for normal...
Beta 2 Adrenergic Receptor is a member of the G protein-coupled receptor superfamily. This receptor is directly associated with one of its ultimate...
ATP citrate lyase (ACL) is the primary enzyme responsible for the synthesis of cytosolic acetyl-CoA in many tissues. The enzyme is a tetramer of four...
The p53 binding proteins 53BP1 and 53BP2 (Bbp) bind to the central DNA-binding domain of wild type p53, but do not bind mutant p53. The central DNA-binding...
beta-Amyloid is a neurotoxic peptide that is associated with the pathogenesis of Alzheimer
Cytoskeletal intermediate filaments (IFs) constitute a diverse group of proteins that are expressed in a highly tissue-specific manner. Intermediate...
Stat5a and Stat5b (signal transducer and activator of transcription 5a and 5b; 96% homology) undergo receptor tyrosine kinase or G protein-coupled...
Separase is a cysteine protease that triggers anaphase in all eukaryotes by participating in separation of sister chromatids during mitosis. Once activated,...
