Several serine/threonine protein kinases have been implicated as intermediates in signal transduction pathways. These include ERK/MAP kinases, ribosomal S6...
Crk, is a transformation-specific protein that induces elevation of cellular phosphotyrosine levels, but lacks tyrosine kinase activity itself. A second...
Several groups have independently identified a non-transmembrane PTP, designated SH-PTP1 (also known as PTP1C, HCP and SHP), which is primarily expressed in...
Critical components of this process include adapter proteins such as Shc and IRS-1 that lack detectable catalytic activity. These are immediate substrates of...
Brutons tyrosine kinase (BTK) is a member of the BTK/Tec family of cytoplasmic tyrosine kinases. Like other BTK family members, it contains a pleckstrin...
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...
Focal adhesions are identified as areas within the plasma membrane of tissue culture cells that adhere tightly to the underlying substrate. In vivo, these...
Tubulin is a major cytoskeleton component that has three distinct forms, designated alpha, beta and gamma Tubulin. alpha and beta Tubulins form heterodimers,...
Phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH), tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) and tryptophan hydroxylase (TPH) comprise a small family of monooxygenases that use...
TIMP-1, TIMP-2, TIMP-3 and TIMP-4 (for tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-1, -2, -3 and -4) complex with metalloproteinases such as collagenases,...
Cystatin A (also designated STF1, STFA, stefin A or cystatin AS) and cystatin B (also designated PME, CST6, STFB, CPI-B, stefin B and liver thiol proteinase...
Cyclin A accumulates prior to cyclin B in the cell cycle, appears to be involved in control of S phase and has been shown to associate with cyclin dependent...
The prototype member of this family, designated MAP kinase kinase, or MEK-1, specifically phosphorylates the MAP kinase regulatory threonine and tyrosine...
RPA is a major damage-recognition protein involved in the early stages of nucleotide excision repair. It can also play a role in telomere maintenance. The...
DNA double-strand breaks are generated by ionizing radiation and endogenously produced radicals, and they often are repaired through the RAD52 homologous...
In mammalian cells, transcription is regulated in part by high molecular weight coactivating complexes that mediate signaling between transcriptional...
Peroxisome proliferators are nongenotoxic carcinogens which are purported to exert their effect on cells through their interaction with members of the...
PMP 22 is a 22 kDa glycoprotein expressed in the compact myelin of the peripheral nervous system. In the peripheral nervous system, PMP 22 is produced by...
PLK1 (polo-like kinase 1) is a member of the serine/threonine protein kinase family, cdc5/polo subfamily. PLK1 contains two polo box domains with a predicted...
Activation of phosphatidylcholine-specific phospholipase D (PC-PLD) catalyzes the hydrolysis of phosphatidylcholine (PC) to generate phosphatidic acid (PA)....
