Dihydrodiol dehydrogenase (DD; EC 1.3.1.20), a member of the aldo-oxo reductase (AKR) superfamily, catalyzes the NADP-linked oxidation of trans-dihydrodiols...
Aldose reductase (AR) is an NADPH-dependent enzyme that was first identified by its ability to reduce glucose to sorbitol. The deduced 316-amino acid AKR1B10...
The androgen receptor (AR) is more than 90 kb long and codes for a protein that has 3 major functional domains: the N-terminal domain, DNA-binding domain,...
The deduced 227-amino acid protein has a calculated molecular mass of 25.6 kD. AK3 shares 57.4% amino acid identity with AK4 (AK3L1). It shares 75%, 90%, and...
The Autoimmune Regulator is expressed in the thymus. It causes transcription of a wide selection of organ-specific genes. This reduces the threat of...
AIM2 plays a putative role in tumorigenic reversion and may control cell proliferation. Interferon-gamma induces expression of AIM2. AIM2 was expressed as a...
AIM1 (absent in melanoma-1) is a novel gene whose expression is altered in association with tumor suppression in a model of human melanoma . Chromosome...
Apoptosis inducing factor is involved in initiating a caspase-independent pathway of apoptosis (positive intrinsic regulator of apoptosis) by causing DNA...
Allograft inflammatory factor 1 is induced by cytokines and interferon. Its protein product is thought to be involved in negative regulation of growth of...
The SLC11A2 gene encodes a divalent metal transporter (DMT1), which carries iron, manganese, cobalt, nickel, cadmium, lead, copper, and zinc. DMT1...
The Na-K-Cl cotransporters are a family of integral membrane proteins that mediate the coupled transport of Na+, K+, and Cl- across the plasma membrane.NKCC2...
By searching EST databases, Mount et al. (1999) identified a cDNA encoding SLC12A7, which they initially termed KCC3 but later renamed KCC4. The deduced...
SLC15A1 encodes an intestinal hydrogen peptide cotransporter that is a member of the solute carrier family 15. The encoded protein is localized to the brush...
This transporter, SLC15A2, belongs to the same gene family as SLC15A1, the proton-coupled peptide transporter found in the small intestine.The SLC15A2 cDNA...
SLC16A1 mediates the movement of lactate and pyruvate across cell membranes Import and export of these substrates by tissues such as erythrocytes, muscle,...
Lactic acid and pyruvate transport across plasma membranes is catalyzed by members of the proton-linked monocarboxylate transporter (MCT) family, which has...
SLC16A8 is a member of a family of proton-coupled monocarboxylate transporters that mediate lactate transport across cell membranes . The deduced 504-amino...
The SLC17A5 gene encodes a vesicular excitatory amino acid transporter (VEAT) with dual physiologic functions. When present in synaptic vesicles in the...
VMAT2 is an integral membrane protein that acts to transport monoamines-particularly neurotransmitters such as dopamine, norepinephrine, serotonin, and...
SLC18A3transports acetylcholine into secretory vesicles for release into the extracellular space. Acetylcholine transport utilizes a proton gradient...
