The Bcl-2 gene was isolated at the chromosomal breakpoint of t-bearing follicular B cell lymphomas. Bcl-2 blocks cell death following a variety of stimuli...
Bad is a member of the Bcl2 family and acts to promote apoptosis by forming heterodimers with the survival proteins Bcl2 and BclxL, thus preventing them from...
Aurora kinases belong to a highly conserved family of mitotic serine/threonine kinases with three members identified among mammals: Aurora A, B, and C....
AML1 (also known as Runx1, CBFA2, and PEBP2(alpha)B) is a member of the core binding factor (CBF) family of transcription factors. It is required for normal...
Beta 2 Adrenergic Receptor is a member of the G protein-coupled receptor superfamily. This receptor is directly associated with one of its ultimate...
ATP citrate lyase (ACL) is the primary enzyme responsible for the synthesis of cytosolic acetyl-CoA in many tissues. The enzyme is a tetramer of four...
The p53 binding proteins 53BP1 and 53BP2 (Bbp) bind to the central DNA-binding domain of wild type p53, but do not bind mutant p53. The central DNA-binding...
(beta)-Amyloid is a neurotoxic peptide that is associated with the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease. (beta)-Amyloid aggregates induce cell death of...
Cytoskeletal intermediate filaments (IFs) constitute a diverse group of proteins that are expressed in a highly tissue-specific manner. Intermediate...
Stat5a and Stat5b (signal transducer and activator of transcription 5a and 5b; 96% homology) undergo receptor tyrosine kinase or G protein-coupled...
Separase is a cysteine protease that triggers anaphase in all eukaryotes by participating in separation of sister chromatids during mitosis. Once activated,...
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...
Several serine/threonine protein kinases have been implicated as intermediates in signal transduction pathways. These include ERK/MAP kinases, ribosomal S6...
Crk, is a transformation-specific protein that induces elevation of cellular phosphotyrosine levels, but lacks tyrosine kinase activity itself. A second...
Several groups have independently identified a non-transmembrane PTP, designated SH-PTP1 (also known as PTP1C, HCP and SHP), which is primarily expressed in...
Critical components of this process include adapter proteins such as Shc and IRS-1 that lack detectable catalytic activity. These are immediate substrates of...
Brutons tyrosine kinase (BTK) is a member of the BTK/Tec family of cytoplasmic tyrosine kinases. Like other BTK family members, it contains a pleckstrin...
The Yes-associated protein, otherwise known as YAP, is a 14-3-3-binding molecule that was originally recognized by virtue of its ability to bind to the SH3...
Focal adhesions are identified as areas within the plasma membrane of tissue culture cells that adhere tightly to the underlying substrate. In vivo, these...
