The finding that mutations in DNA mismatch repair genes are associated with hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) has resulted in considerable...
Phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C (PLC) plays a critical role in the initiation of receptor mediated signal transduction through the generation of...
NIMA was originally shown in Aspergillus nidulans to be necessary for entry into mitosis. NIMA-related mammalian proteins have since been identified as Nek1,...
Phosphoglycerate kinases 1/2 (PGK1/2, ATP:3-phospho-D-glycerate 1-phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.2.3) are somatically expressed, glycolytic enzymes that catalyze...
Pigment epithelium-derived growth factor (PEDF), also known as EPC-1 (early population doubling level cDNA-1), is a glycoprotein found naturally in the...
Platelet-derived growth factor receptors exhibit tyrosine-protein kinase activity and have been implicated in the control of cell proliferation, survival and...
cAMP-hydrolyzing cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase (PDE) catalyzes hydrolysis of the cyclic nucleotides cAMP and cGMP to the corresponding nucleoside...
Phosphodiesterases (PDE) hydrolyze cAMP to 5'AMP and thus play a critical role in the regulation of intracellular cAMP. Division of the PDE superfamily by...
Pax genes contain paired domains that share strong homology to genes in Drosophila which are involved in programming early development. The product of the...
Alpha 1 acid glycoprotein (AGP) is an acute phase plasma protein synthesized by the liver. It functions to regulate the interaction between blood cells and...
Bone morphogenesis and remodeling involve the formation of bone from osteoblasts and the resorption of bone by osteoclasts. The cytokine osteoprotegerin...
The Trk proto-oncogene encodes a tyrosine protein kinase, Trk A, also designated Trk gp140, that serves as a receptor for certain neurotrophic factors...
CD73 (also designated ecto-5'-nucleotidase, E5NT, NT, NT5, NTE, eN and eNT) is a glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored adhesion protein that catalyzes...
Natriuretic peptides comprise a family of three structurally related molecules: atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) and C-type...
Natriuretic peptides comprise a family of 3 structurally related molecules: atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), and C-type...
NPY (neuropeptide Y) is a 36 amino acid protein that consists of a polyproline stretch followed by an amphipathic a-helix. NPY shares a 50% amino acid...
NOS activity requires homodimerization as well as three cosubstrates (L-arginine, NADPH and O2) and five cofactors or prosthetic groups (FAD, FMN,...
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH)-oxidase is a multimeric enzyme system that mediates electron transport from NADPH in the cytoplasm to...
?Myocilin is an extracellular protein expressed in the eye, including the retina, trabecular meshwork and ciliary body. Myocilin can form homomultimers in...
The Dynamin family of microtubule-associated proteins function as GTPases that are involved in microtubule bundling and endocytosis. In mice, Mx2 (myxovirus...
