Modulation of chromatin structure plays an important role in the regulation of transcription in eukaryotes. The nucleosome, made up of DNA wound around eight...
Ubiquitinating enzymes (UBEs) catalyze protein ubiquitination, a reversible process countered by deubiquitinating enzyme (DUB) action. Five DUB subfamilies...
This gene encodes a nuclear protein which is involved in cell-cycle regulation. The encoded protein is a ubiquitin-ligase capable of ubiquinating PCNP...
UHRF1, also named as ICBP90, NP95 and RNF106, is a putative E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase. It may participate in methylation-dependent transcriptional...
Methylation of DNA at cytosine residues in mammalian cells is a heritable, epigenetic modification that is critical for proper regulation of gene expression,...
This gene encodes a protein with a series of six RCC1-like domains (RLDs), characteristic of the highly conserved guanine nucleotide exchange factors. The...
Hemostasis following tissue injury involves the deployment of essential plasma procoagulants (Prothrombin and Factors X, IX, V and VIII), which mediate a...
Cathepsin G is a serine protease, it consisting of a single polypeptide with a molecular weight of 30 kDa as determined by SDS-PAGE. Its substrates are...
Caspase 3 (also known as CPP32, YAMA and apopain) is the most extensively studied apoptotic protein among caspase family members. Caspase 3 is synthesized as...
Caspase-2 (Nedd2, ICH-1) is an aspartate-specific cysteine protease that is activated in response to various apoptotic stimuli. Caspase-2 is unique among the...
Caspase-1 (interleukin-1 beta convertase) belongs to the Interleukin-1-beta converting enzyme subfamily of caspases which mediate many features of apoptosis,...
Caspase-9 (ICE-LAP6, Mch6) is an important member of the cysteine aspartic acid protease (caspase) family. Upon apoptotic stimulation, cytochrome c released...
The small ubiquitin-related modifier (SUMO) proteins, which include SUMO-1, SUMO-2 and SUMO-3, belong to the ubiquitin-like protein family. Like ubiquitin,...
Thrombin receptor (also designated protease-activated receptor-1 or PAR-1), PAR-2 and PAR-3 compose a distinct class of G protein-coupled receptors activated...
A unique family of cysteine proteases has been described that differs in sequence, structure and substrate specificity from any previously described protease...
Tumor necrosis factor (beta) (TNF(beta)), also known as lymphotoxin, is a pleiotropic cytokine. TNF(alpha), also known as cachetin, is a cytokine that binds...
Hemostasis following tissue injury involves the deployment of essential plasma procoagulants (Prothrombin and Factors X, IX, V and VIII), which are involved...
Metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a family of proteins that are involved in the breakdown of the extracellular matrix during normal cellular events, including...
The matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) are a family of peptidase enzymes responsible for the degradation of extracellular matrix components, including collagen,...
Kallikreins (KLKs) belong to the serine protease family of proteolytic enzymes. Human pancreatic/renal KLK encodes for the KLK1 enzyme, which is involved in...
