Urotensin II is an active cyclic heptapeptide absolutely conserved from lamprey to human. The active peptide acts as a vasoconstrictor and is expressed only...
Trypsin is a 24 kDa enzyme of the serine proteinase family. It is produced in the pancreas as an inactive precursor, trypsinogen, but the active enzyme is...
Superoxide dismutase (SOD) is an antioxidant enzyme involved in the defense system against reactive oxygen species (ROS). SOD catalyzes the dismutation...
SOCS2 is capable of inhibiting cytokine signalling by interleukin-6 (IL-6) and growth hormone. SOCS2 interacts with the phosphorylated insulin-like growth...
Glucose transporters are integral membrane proteins that mediate the transport of glucose and structurally related substances across cellular membranes. Two...
Phosphofructokinase (PFK) catalyzes the phosphorylation of fructose-6-phosphate in glycolysis. There are three isozymes: muscle-type, liver-type, and...
The protein encoded by this gene is a transcription factor that contains two GATA type zinc fingers. The encoded protein is known to bind to hepatocyte...
Chromogranin A (a protein of 439 amino acids which is encoded on chromosome 14) is present in neuroendocrine cells throughout the body, including the...
Choactase catalyzes the synthesis of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine (ACh) from choline and acetyl-CoA in cholinergic neurons. Choline acetyltransferase...
