BNIP3, formerly NIP3 (nineteen kDa interacting protein-3), is a pro-apoptotic, mitochondrial protein classified in the Bcl 2 family based on limited sequence...
Human interleukin 2 (IL2) is a secreted cytokine that is important for the proliferation of T and B lymphocytes. The receptor of this cytokine is a...
Macrophage Inflammatory Protein 1 alpha (MIP1 alpha) and MIP1 beta, two closely related but distinct proteins, were originally co-purified from medium...
Ced-3/caspase-1, is composed of caspase-1, caspase-2, caspase-3, caspase-4, caspase-6 and caspase-7 (also designated Mch3, ICE-LAP3 or CMH-1), caspase-9,...
Glutamate receptors mediate most excitatory neurotransmission in the brain and play an important role in neural plasticity, neural development and...
This protein is a member of the keratin family. The keratins are intermediate filament proteins responsible for the structural integrity of epithelial cells...
MaxiK channels are large conductance, voltage and calcium-sensitive potassium channels which are fundamental to the control of smooth muscle tone and...
Rho proteins function as molecular switches that are able to turn cytokinesis on and off. Although little is known about signaling downstream of Rho, a host...
The cathepsin family of proteolytic enzymes contains several diverse classes of proteases. The cysteine protease class comprises cathepsins B, L, H, K, S,...
Monoamine oxidase (MAO) is an enzyme of the mitochondrial outer membrane and catalyzes the oxidative deamination of biogenic amines throughout the body. MAO...
Inhibitor of apoptosis proteins (IAPs) contain conserved, unique aminoterminal baculovirus IAP repeats (BIRs) and usually a C-terminal RING finger domain....
Glutamate receptors mediate most excitatory neurotransmission in the brain and play an important role in neural plasticity, neural development and...
A unique family of Cysteine proteases has been described that differs in sequence, structure and substrate specificity from any previously described protease...
Human CD13 is expressed on the majority of peripheral blood monocytes and granulocytes. It is also expressed by the majority of acute myeloid leukemias,...
The cathepsin family of proteolytic enzymes contains several diverse classes of proteases. The cysteine protease class comprises cathepsins B, L, H, K, S,...
The Abl interactor proteins, Abi-1 and Abi-2, are SH3-domain containing proteins that bind to the proline-rich motifs of Abl and activate the kinase...
PAX9 is a member of the paired box (PAX) family of transcription factors. Proteins in this family typically contain a paired box domain, a paired type...
Each of the approximately 20 connexin isoforms produces channels with distinct permeabilities and electrical and chemical sensitivities; therefore, one...
Human IgA (immunoglobulin A) is a glycosylated protein of 160 kDa and is produced as a monomer or as a J chain linked dimer. Monomeric IgA constitutes 5-15 %...
