The Ras p21 family of guanine nucleotide proteins has been widely studied in view of its apparent role in signal transduction pathways and high frequency of...
Members of the protein kinase C (PKC) family play a key regulatory role in a variety of cellular functions including cell growth and differentiation, gene...
Cdc2, an evolutionarily conserved serine/threonine-specific protein kinase, is essential in the cell cycle transition from G2 to M phase. Cdc2 is regulated...
IRS-1, a major substrate of the insulin receptor, is phosphorylated in response to stimulation of cells by insulin, insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) and...
Cell cycle progression is regulated by a series of cyclin-dependent kinases that consist of catalytic subunits, designated Cdks, and activating subunits,...
The activation of signal transduction pathways by growth factors, hormones and neurotransmitters is mediated through two closely related MAP kinases, p44 and...
Several serine/threonine protein kinases have been implicated as intermediates in signal transduction pathways. These include ERK/MAP kinases, ribosomal S6...
Cell cycle progression is controlled in part by a family of cyclin proteins and cyclin dependent kinases (Cdks). Cdk proteins work in concert with the...
In mammalian cells there are at least two Hsp90 isoforms, Hsp90a and Hsp90b which are encoded by separate genes. These ubiquitous and highly conserved...
Glial fibrillary acidic protein, or GFAP, is an intermediate filament (IF) protein belonging to the type III subclass of IF proteins. Like other IF proteins,...
Pro-apototic Bcl-2 family members promote cell death by neutralizing their anti-apoptotic relatives, which otherwise maintain cell viability by regulating...
Insulin-like growth factor-I receptor (IGF-IR) is an RTK that stimulates growth in many different cell types, blocks apoptosis, acts as an intermediate of...
MLH1 is an integral part of the protein complex responsible for mismatch repair that is expressed in lymphocytes, heart, colon, breast, lung, spleen, testis,...
(alpha)-fetoprotein (AFP) is expressed in fetal liver at varying levels throughout development and is present only in trace amounts in normal adult tissues....
?Cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL)-mediated cytotoxicity constitutes an important component of specific effector mechanisms in immunosurveillance against...
The prototype neurotrophin is nerve growth factor (NGF), originally discovered in the 1950s as a soluble peptide promoting the survival of, and neurite...
Overexpression of Bax accelerates apoptotic death induced by cytokine deprivation in an IL-3-dependent cell line, and Bax also counters the death repressor...
Transforming growth factor-(alpha) (TGF(alpha)) is an acid- and heat-stable 50 amino acid protein originally found in rodents and humans. TGF(alpha) is 33%...
