Sox genes comprise a family of genes that are related to the mammalian sex determining gene SRY. These genes similarly contain sequences that encode for the...
Smad proteins, the mammalian homologs of the Drosophila mothers against decapentaplegic (Mad), have been implicated as downstream effectors of GF(beta)/BMP...
Smad proteins, the mammalian homologs of the Drosophila Mothers against dpp (Mad) have been implicated as downstream effectors of TGF(beta)/BMP signaling....
Overexpression of Vav or SLP-76 in Jurkat cells leads to NFAT activation and IL-2 production. When co-expressed, Vav and SLP-76 synergize to induce a robust...
The family of ribosomal S6 kinases (Rsks), designated Rsk-1 (or MAPKAP kinase-1), Rsk-2 and Rsk-3, are intracellular serine/threonine kinases that are...
DNA double-strand breaks are generated by ionizing radiation and endogenously produced radicals, and they often are repaired through the RAD52 homologous...
The effects of progesterone are mediated by two functionally different isoforms of the progesterone receptor, PR-A and PR-B, which are transcribed from...
In eukaryotes, the phosphorylation and dephosphorylation of proteins on serine and threonine residues is an essential means of regulating a broad range of...
Phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C (PLC) plays a crucial role in the initiation of receptor mediated signal transduction through the generation of the...
Phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C (PLC) plays a crucial role in the initiation of receptor mediated signal transduction through the generation of the...
A total of eight mammalian PLC isozymes have been described (PLC (beta)1, PLC (beta)2, PLC (beta)3, PLC (beta)4, PLC (gamma)1, PLC (gamma)2, PLC (delta)1 and...
Activation of PKC is one of the earliest events in a cascade leading to a variety of cellular responses such as secretion, gene expression, proliferation and...
Protein Kinase C delta (PKC delta) is a 78 kDa member of the novel group (nPKCs: sensitive to diacylglycerol, phosphatidylserine, and phorbol esters) of the...
NIMA was originally shown in Aspergillus nidulans to be necessary for entry into mitosis. NIMA-related mammalian proteins have since been identified as Nek1,...
PFK-1 undergoes activation in the presence of elevated AMP. The most potent activator is fructose-2,6-bisphosphate, which is produced by PFK-2 from the same...
Phosphatidylcholine phospholipase D1 and D2 (PC-PLD1 and PC-PLD2) are phospholipid-specific phosphodiesterases that hydrolyze phosphatidylcholine. Unlike...
Three isoforms of serine/threonine kinases, designated (alpha)PAK p68, (beta)PAK p65 and (gamma)PAK p62, have been shown to exhibit a high degree of sequence...
Three isoforms of serine/threonine kinases, designated (alpha)PAK p68, (beta)PAK p65 and (gamma)PAK p62, have been shown to exhibit a high degree of sequence...
PAK4 is highly expressed in prostate, testis and colon. PAK4 interacts tightly with GTP-bound but not GDP-bound CDC42 and weakly with RAC. PAK4...
p70 S6 kinase is a mitogen activated Ser/Thr protein kinase that is required for cell growth and G1 cell cycle progression. p70 S6 kinase phosphorylates the...
