TTBK2 produces a 5.6-kb transcript in which the longest open reading frame is 3,732 nucleotides, encoding a protein of 1,244 amino acids. The gene is...
TTPa encodes a soluble protein that binds alpha-trocopherol, a form of vitamin E, with high selectivity and affinity. This protein plays an important role in...
TTR was originally called prealbumin because it ran faster than albumins on electrophoresis gels.Prealbumin is produced by the choroid plexus, by pancreatic...
To form microtubules, the dimers of ?- and ?-tubulin bind to GTP and assemble onto the ends of microtubules while in the GTP-bound state. After being...
By searching a skeletal muscle EST database, followed by PCR screening of a muscle cDNA library, Stanchi et al. (2000) isolated a cDNA encoding TUBA8. The...
