Cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) is a cyclic nucleotide derived from guanosine triphosphate (GTP). cGMP acts as a second messenger much like cyclic AMP. Its most likely mechanism of action is ...
Cytochromes P450 (CYPs) belong to the superfamily of proteins containing a heme cofactor and, therefore, are hemoproteins. CYPs use a variety of small and large molecules as substrates in enzymatic...
GDNF family receptor alpha-2 (GFRα2), also known as the neurturin receptor, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the GFRA2 gene.[1][2] The GFRA2 protein is a glycosylphosphatidylinositol(GP...
Persephin is a neurotrophic factor in the glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) family.
Mammaglobin is a gene that encodes a 10-kilodalton glycoprotein.[1] In humans expression of the gene is limited to the adult mammary gland, a correlation between increased expression of the gene an...
Secoisolariciresinol dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.331) is an enzyme with system name (-)-secoisolariciresinol:NAD+ oxidoreductase.[1][2][3] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction (-)-s...
Dehydrodiconiferyl alcohol benzylic ether reductase
A fatty acid desaturase is an enzyme that removes two hydrogen atoms from a fatty acid, creating a carbon/carbon double bond. These desaturases are classified as delta - indicating that the doub...
DXP reductoisomerase (1-deoxy-D-xylulose 5-phosphate reductoisomerase or DXR) is an enzyme that interconverts 1-deoxy-D-xylulose 5-phosphate (DXP) and 2-C-methyl-D-erythritol 4-phosphate (MEP). It...
Haemophilus influenzae (formerly called Pfeiffer's bacillus or Bacillus influenzae) is a Gram-negative, coccobacillary, facultatively anaerobic bacterium belonging to the Pasteurellaceae family. H....
A stenosis (/stəˈnoʊsɨs/;[1][2] plural: stenoses, /stəˈnoʊˌsiːz/) (from Ancient Greek στένωσις, "narrowing") is an abnormal narrowing in a blood vessel or other tubular organ or structure. It is al...
Areas of severe narrowing, stenosis, detectable by angiography, and to a lesser extent "stress testing" have long been the focus of human diagnostic techniques for cardiovascular disease, in genera...
In molecular biology, an annexin A5 affinity assay is a test to quantify the number of cells undergoing apoptosis. The assay uses the protein annexin A5 to tag apoptotic and dead cells, and the num...
Amyloids are insoluble fibrous protein aggregates sharing specific structural traits. They arise from at least 18 inappropriately folded versions of proteins and polypeptides present naturally in t...

Homeobox protein Nkx-6.1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the NKX6-1 gene. In the pancreas, NKX6.1 is required for the development of beta cells and is a potent bifunctional transcription...
In chemistry, spectrophotometry is the quantitative measurement of the reflection or transmission properties of a material as a function of wavelength.[1] It is more specific than the general term ...
Apoptosis (/ˌæpəˈtoʊsɪs/;[2][3] from Ancient Greek ἀπό apo, "by, from, of, since, than" and πτῶσις ptōsis, "fall") is the process of programmed cell death (PCD) that may occur in multicellular orga...
