The majority of the large number of receptor tyrosine kinases that have been identified can be categorized into distinct families based on the structure of...
Two additional JNK family members have been identified as JNK2 and JNK3. JIP-1 (for JNK interacting protein-1) has been identified as a cytoplasmic inhibitor...
Acetylation of lysine residues in the amino-terminal tail domain of histone results in an allosteric change in the nucleosomal conformation and an increased...
AMPK(beta)1 is a member of the SNF1 kinase family. It is a heterotrimeric protein comprising of an alpha (catalytic), beta (non-catalytic) and gamma...
Although the macrophage colony stimulating factor (M-CSF) and its receptor, c-Fms, are involved in the survival and proliferation of hematopoietic cells,...
The (gamma)-Tubulin complex is composed of (gamma) Tubulin and the (gamma)-Tubulin complexassociated proteins GCP2, GCP3, GCP4, GCP5 and GCP6, all of which...
MaxiK(beta) subunit 1 consists of two putative transmembrane domains, an extracellular loop containing three consensus sequences for N-linked glycosylation...
Ribosomes, the organelles that catalyze protein synthesis, are composed of a small subunit (40S) and a large subunit (60S) that consist of over 80 distinct...
Laminins are essential and abundant structural non-collagenous glycoproteins localizing to basement membranes. Basement membranes (cell-associated...
Collagens are fibrous, extracellular matrix proteins with high tensile strength and are the major components of connective tissue, such as tendons and...
In the CNS, Serotonin modulates several processes, including anxiety, sleep, appetite, behavior and drug abuse. In platelets and gut, serotonin plays a major...
Mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase cascades are activated by various extracellular stimuli, including growth factors. The MEK kinases (also designated...
Heparin cofactor II (HCII) is a glycoprotein in human plasma which rapidly inactivates Thrombin in the presence of dermatan sulfate. Inhibition occurs by...
The human homolog FAST-1 and the corresponding mouse homolog, designated FAST-2, share significant sequence homology with xFAST-1, including a conserved...
Cell cycle events are regulated by the sequential activation and deactivation of cyclin dependent kinases (Cdks) and by proteolysis of cyclins. Chk1 and Chk2...
Protein tyrosine phosphatases, or PTPs, are type I transmembrane proteins, membrane associated proteins or proteins localized in nuclei. Examples of...
The c-Fos oncogene was initially detected in two independent murine osteosarcoma virus isolates and an avian nephroblastoma virus. The cellular homolog,...
Hepatocyte nuclear factor 4(alpha) (HNF4(alpha)) is a transcription factor that belongs to the steroid hormone receptor superfamily and is enriched in liver....
Cell cycle progression is regulated by a series of cyclin-dependent kinases that consist of catalytic subunits, designated Cdks, and activating subunits,...
p53, a DNA-binding, oligomerization domain and transcription activation domain-containing tumor suppressor, upregulates growth arrest and apoptosisrelated...
