SIRT2 is a member of the sirtuin family of proteins. Studies suggest that the human sirtuins may function as intracellular regulatory proteins with...
NAD-dependent protein deacetylase that links transcriptional regulation directly to intracellular energetics and participates in the coordination of several...
As human tumors progress to advanced stages, one genetic alteration that occurs at high frequency is a loss of heterozygosity (LOH) at chromosome 10q23....
The nm23 gene, a potential suppressor of metastasis, was originally identified by differential hybridization between two murine melanoma sub-lines, one with...
B-cell CLL/lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2) blocks cell death following a variety of stimuli and confers a death-sparing effect to certain hematopoietic cell lines...
c-Jun amino terminal kinases (JNKs) are MAP kinase family members that differ from other MAP kinases in that they are phosphorylated at the Thr-Pro-Tyr...
The functional IKK complex contains three subunits, IKK(alpha), IKK(beta) and IKK(gamma) (also designated NEMO), and each appear to make essential...
Hsp27, also referred to as the Estrogen-Regulated 24K protein and HSP28, is one of several small heat shock proteins (HSP) produced by all organisms studied....
In the intact cell, DNA closely associates with histones and other nuclear proteins to form chromatin. The remodeling of chromatin is believed to be a...
Acetylation of lysine residues in the amino-terminal tail domain of histone results in an allosteric change in the nucleosomal conformation and an increased...
Pentraxins, which include C-reactive protein (CRP) and serum amyloid P component (SAP), are prototypic acute phase proteins. CRP and SAP are produced by...
A receptor ligand pair central to the transmission of this signal is CD40, expressed on the surface of B cells, together with CD40L, expressed on activated T...
CD34 is a heavily glycosylated, transmembrane glycoprotein that is expressed on the surface of lymphohematopoietic stem and progenitor cells, small-vessel...
CD133, originally known as AC133. CD133 is a glycoprotein also known in humans and rodents as Prominin 1 (PROM1). Currently the function of CD133 is unknown....
The HSP 70 family comprises four highly conserved proteins, HSP 70, HSC 70, GRP 75 and GRP 78, which serve a variety of roles. They act as molecular...
BID, a BH3 domain containing proapoptotic Bcl2 family member, is localized in the cytosolic fraction of cells as an inactive precursor. Its active form is...
Bak or Bcl2 homologous antagonist is a member of the Bcl2 family of proteins. The Bcl-2 related proteins interact with one another through the formation of...
ATF-6 is a member of the basic-leucine zipper family of transcription factors. Endoplasmic reticulum stress causes cleavage of transmembrane ATF-6 and...
The cAMP response element (CRE), one of the best studied of such elements, consists of the palindromic octanucleotide TGACGTCA. Several CRE binding proteins...
AKT, also known as protein kinase B (PKB), is a 57 kDa serine/threonine protein kinase. There are three mammalian isoforms of Akt: AKT1 (PKB alpha), AKT2...
