Activation of FUSE, the far-upstream element, is required for the proper expression of the mammalian gene c-Myc in undifferentiated cells. The binding of FBP...
Translation initiation in eukaryotes necessitates the assembly of an 80S ribosomal complex containing methionyl initiator tRNA (Met-tRNAiMet), which is base...
POLR3A (polymerase (RNA) III (DNA directed) polypeptide A), also known as RPC1 or RPC155, is a 1,390 amino acid protein that localizes to the nucleus and...
C1q, a subcomponent of the classical complement pathway, mediates its activation and thereby plays an important role in immune response. The presence of...
Membrane and vesicular trafficking in the early secretory pathway are mediated by non-Clathrin COP (coat protein) I-coated vesicles. COPI-coated vesicles...
Chloride channels (CLCs) regulate cellular traffic of chloride ions, a critical component of all living cells. CLCs are involved in membrane potential...
Cerebellin (CER), which was originally isolated from rat cerebellum, is a hexadecapeptide derived from a larger precursor called Cerebellin 1, also...

The cellular retinoic acid-binding protein (CRABP)-I and a related isoform CRABP-II are nuclear receptors for retinoic acid (RA), an important regulator of...
Carboxypeptidase N (arginine carboxypeptidase or CPN) cleaves basic amino acid residues from the carboxy terminal of peptides and proteins. The enzyme plays...
Cytoplasmic linker protein of 170 kDa (CLIP-170) is the original member of a group of microtuble binding proteins designated as plus-end-binding...
The peroxisomal membrane contains several ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters, ABCD1-4 that are known to be present in the human peroxisome membrane. All...
The EDG (endothelial differentiation gene) family of G protein coupled receptors consists of eight family members that bind lysophospholipid (LPL) mediators,...
The heredity disease chronic granulomatous disease (CGF) has been linked to mutations in p47-phox and p67-phox. The cytosolic proteins p47-phox and p67-phox,...
Nurr1 (Nur-related factor 1) and Nur77 (also designated NGFI-B) encode orphan nuclear receptors which may comprise an additional subfamily within the nuclear...
NOS is classified under three types: neuronal NOS (nNOS) or brain NOS (bNOS); inducible NOS (iNOS) or macrophage NOS (mNOS); and endothelial NOS (eNOS).eNOS...
Cell cycle progression is controlled in part by a family of cyclin proteins and cyclin dependent kinases (Cdks). Cdk proteins work in concert with the...
Three members of the TGF beta family, TGF beta 1, TGF beta 2 and TGF beta 3, are known in mammals. TGF betas mediate their activity by high affinity binding...
Smad proteins, the mammalian homologs of the Drosophila mothers against decapentaplegic (Mad), have been implicated as downstream effectors of GFbeta/BMP...
