EphAs are a family of receptor tyrosine kinases that are involved in axonal guidance during development. These receptors and their ligands, the ephrins, act...
A proposed genetic marker of cardiac hypertrophy, CARP (cardiac ankyrin repeat protein, ANKRD1, Ankyrin repeat domain-containing protein 1, ) is a nuclear...
Cyclin dependent kinase-5 (Cdk5), a key regulator of cell cycle progression, was originally isolated on the basis of its structural homology to Cdc2, a...
The bromodomain-containing proteins include BRD2, BRD3, BRD4 and BRDT. BRD2 (RING3 protein) is a mitogen-activated nuclear protein whose gene is located in...
Glucokinase (also designated hexokinase IV or GCK) plays a key role in the regulation of glucose-induced insulin secretion. GCK is expressed in pancreatic...
EFP (estrogen-responsive finger protein) is a transcription factor, the content of which is regulated by estrogen. It has been identified as a member of the...
The human retinoblastoma gene product appears to play an important role in the negative regulation of cell proliferation. Functional inactivation of Rb can...
Heterotrimeric G protein-mediated signal transduction is a dynamically regulated process with the intensity of signal decreasing over time despite the...
Dyrk (for dual specificity tyrosine phosphorylation regulated kinase) is the homolog of the Drosophila mnb (minibrain) gene, which is required for...
In the DNA of higher eukaryotes, hydrolytic deamination of 5-methylcytosine to thymine leads to the formation of G/T mismatches. G/T mismatch-specific...
The Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinases (CaM kinases) comprise a structurally related subfamily of serine/threonine kinases which include CaMKI, CaMKII...
Smad proteins, the mammalian homologs of the Drosophila Mothers against dpp (Mad) have been implicated as downstream effectors of TGF(beta)/BMP signaling....
c-Jun NH2-terminal kinases (JNKs) are distant members of the MAP kinase family. JNK1 is activated by dual phosphorylation at a Thr-Pro-Tyr motif in response...
MTA1 (metastasis-associated protein 1) is a component of the NURD (for nucleosome remodeling and histone deacetylation) complex, which is associated with...
Cyclin dependent kinases, known as Cdks, regulate transitions in the eukaryotic cell cycle. Cdk 5 is required for proper development of the mammalian central...
The T-box (TBX) motif is present in a family of genes whose structural features and expression patterns support their involvement in developmental gene...
NF-1, also designated CTF, consists of a family of CCAAT-box-binding proteins that stimulate DNA replication and activate transcription. Analysis of human...
In eukaryotes, the majority of mRNAs have an m(7)G cap, which is added cotranscriptionally and plays a critical role in many aspects of mRNA metabolism. The...
CD137, also designated ILA and 4-1BB in mouse, belongs to the tumor necrosis factor receptor family and delivers a costimulatory signal to T lymphocytes....
Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and lymphotoxin-alpha (LT-(alpha), also known as TNF?(beta)) are members of a family of secreted and cell surface cytokines that...
