E2F was originally identified through its role in transcriptional activation of the adenovirus E2 promoter. Sequences homologous to the E2F binding site have...
Human neutrophil alpha-defensins (also designated HNPs) are small, cationic,cysteine-rich antimicrobial proteins that play important roles in innate immunity...
ATP5J2 is part of the complex F0 domain of the mitochondrial ATP synthase. This produces ATP from ADP in the presence of a proton gradient across the...
Pax-1 is a sequence-specific DNA binding-protein with transcriptional activating properties. The expression pattern of Pax-1 during mouse embryogenesis...
The Interleukin 2 Receptor alpha and beta chains, together with the common gamma chain, constitute the high affinity IL2 receptor present on activated T and...
Tumor necrosis factor b (TNFb), also known as lymphotoxin, is a pleiotropic cytokine. TNFa, also known as cachectin, is a smaller cytokine that binds to the...
IL-12 is secreted by macrophages and human B-lymphoblastoid cells in response to antigenic stimulation. This IL is responsible for the differentiation of...
Toll like receptors (TLR) are highly conserved throughout evolution and have been implicated in the innate defense to many pathogens. In Drosophila toll is...
Hox, Pbx, and Meis families of transcription factors form heteromeric complexes and bind DNA through specific homeobox domains. Hox proteins are involved in...
MAP2 is the major microtubule associated protein of brain tissue. There are three forms of MAP2; two are similarily sized with apparent molecular weights of...
Interferon (IFN)-(gamma) is an antiviral and antiparasitic agent produced by CD4+/CD8+ lymphocytes and natural killer cells that undergo activation by...
Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) is a carboxy-terminal dipeptidyl exo-peptidase that converts Angiotensin I to the potent vasopressive hormone,...
BNIP-2, (previously designated Nip2 and Nip21 in human and mouse respectively), shares homology with the non-catalytic domain of Cdc42 GTPase-activating...
Cell growth and viability is compromised by oxygen deprivation (hypoxia). Hypoxia-inducible factors, including HIF-1(alpha), HIF-1(beta) (also designated...
ABCG2, is also known as placenta-specific ABC transporter and breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP1). ABCG2 confers resistance for a variety of...
IL-12 is secreted by macrophages and human B-lymphoblastoid cells in response to antigenic stimulation. This IL is responsible for the differentiation of...
IL-8 has been shown to function as a potent neutrophil chemostatic and activating peptide and is an important mediator of inflammatory diseases. Two distinct...
The S-100 family of calcium-activated proteins interact with a range of target proteins to modulate biological signaling pathways. Numerous cancer cell lines...
Many isoforms of aquaporin have been identified in mammals, designated AQP0 through AQP10. Aquaporins are widely distributed and it is not uncommon for more...
When T cells encounter antigens via the T cell receptor (TCR), information about the quantity and quality of antigens is relayed to the intracellular signal...
