Prostate specific antigen (PSA), also designated (gamma)-seminoprotein, seminin, p30 antigen, semenogelase and kallikrein 3 (KLK3), was first identified as a...
Prostate stem cell antigen (PSCA) is a 123 amino acid glycosylated protein that shares homology with the Thy-1/Ly-6 family of glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol...
Aberrant regulation of any of these cell processes can result in cancer. Cell death during embryogenesis, tissue atrophy and normal tissue turnover is called...
The effects of progesterone are mediated by two functionally different isoforms of the progesterone receptor, PR-A and PR-B, which are transcribed from...
A novel protein, designated Presenilin 1 (also designated S182) and mapping to the AD3 locus of chromosome 14q24.3, has been described. Mutations in the gene...
Voltage-gated K+ channels in the plasma membrane control the repolarization and the frequency of action potentials in neurons, muscles and other excitable...
The PML protein is a zinc finger transcription factor expressed as three major transcription products due to alternative splicing. The gene encoding human...
Phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C (PLC) plays a crucial role in the initiation of receptor mediated signal transduction through the generation of the...
Members of the protein kinase C (PKC) family play a key regulatory role in a variety of cellular functions including cell growth and differentiation, gene...
UCHL1 is a single chain transmembraneous glycoprotein which represents the low molecular weight isoform of the Leucocyte Common Antigen (LCA). It is...
Peripherin is a type III intermediate filament protein that is expressed in peripheral and some central nervous system (CNS) neurons. Peripherin activation...
PDK1 (3 Phosphoinositide Dependent Protein Kinase 1) phosphorylates AGC kinases. PDK1 activates conventional PKC and PKC zeta through phosphorylation of...
PDGF is a mitogen for mesenchyme- and glia-derived cells. It consists of two disulfide-bonded polypeptide chains, A and B, and occurs as three isoforms, PDGF...
The proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), a protein synthesized in early G1 and S phases of the cell cycle, functions in cell cycle progression, DNA...
Paxillin is a focal adhesion phosphoprotein that is localized to the cytoskeleton. FAK phosphorylates paxillin specifically on Tyr 118 in vitro. However, FAK...
The Pax gene family of nuclear transcription factors is comprised of nine family members that function during embryogenesis to regulate the temporal and...
PTCH (Patched protein homolog 1) is a receptor for sonic hedgehog (SHH), indian hedgehog (IHH) and desert hedgehog (DHH). PTCH associates with the smoothened...
Cell proliferation is controlled at specific stages of the cell cycle by distinct protein kinase complexes. These complexes consist of a catalytic subunit...
