The nm23 gene, a potential suppressor of metastasis, was originally identified by differential hybridization between two murine melanoma sub-lines, one with...
Apolipoprotein-E (ApoE) is a protein component of plasma lipoproteins that mediates the binding, internalization and catabolism of lipoprotein particles. It...
Epidermal growth factor (EGF) is an acid- and heat-stable 53 amino acid protein of 6 kDa originally found in rodents and humans. EGF has been shown to be a...
The CD3 complex mediates signal transduction. Defects in CD3D are a cause of severe combined immunodeficiency autosomal recessive...
An important part of the nucleus is formed by nuclear lamina. Nuclear lamins form a network of filaments at the nucleoplasmic site of the nuclear membrane....
BNIP3, formerly NIP3 (nineteen kDa interacting protein-3), is a pro-apoptotic, mitochondrial protein classified in the Bcl 2 family based on limited sequence...
Human interleukin 2 (IL2) is a secreted cytokine that is important for the proliferation of T and B lymphocytes. The receptor of this cytokine is a...
Ced-3/caspase-1, is composed of caspase-1, caspase-2, caspase-3, caspase-4, caspase-6 and caspase-7 (also designated Mch3, ICE-LAP3 or CMH-1), caspase-9,...
This protein is a member of the keratin family. The keratins are intermediate filament proteins responsible for the structural integrity of epithelial cells...
MaxiK channels are large conductance, voltage and calcium-sensitive potassium channels which are fundamental to the control of smooth muscle tone and...
Rho proteins function as molecular switches that are able to turn cytokinesis on and off. Although little is known about signaling downstream of Rho, a host...
The cathepsin family of proteolytic enzymes contains several diverse classes of proteases. The cysteine protease class comprises cathepsins B, L, H, K, S,...
Monoamine oxidase (MAO) is an enzyme of the mitochondrial outer membrane and catalyzes the oxidative deamination of biogenic amines throughout the body. MAO...
Inhibitor of apoptosis proteins (IAPs) contain conserved, unique aminoterminal baculovirus IAP repeats (BIRs) and usually a C-terminal RING finger domain....
A unique family of Cysteine proteases has been described that differs in sequence, structure and substrate specificity from any previously described protease...
Human CD13 is expressed on the majority of peripheral blood monocytes and granulocytes. It is also expressed by the majority of acute myeloid leukemias,...
The Abl interactor proteins, Abi-1 and Abi-2, are SH3-domain containing proteins that bind to the proline-rich motifs of Abl and activate the kinase...
PAX9 is a member of the paired box (PAX) family of transcription factors. Proteins in this family typically contain a paired box domain, a paired type...
Each of the approximately 20 connexin isoforms produces channels with distinct permeabilities and electrical and chemical sensitivities; therefore, one...
Human IgA (immunoglobulin A) is a glycosylated protein of 160 kDa and is produced as a monomer or as a J chain linked dimer. Monomeric IgA constitutes 5-15 %...
