Glucagon-Like Peptide 1 Receptor (GLP-1R) is the receptor for glucagon-like peptide 1 and is expressed in the pancreatic beta cells. Ligand binding activates adenyl-cyclase activity which results in increased insulin synthesis and release. GLP-1R is also expressed in the brain where it functions in the control of appetite, memory and learning. GLP-1R also has neuroprotective functions which may be beneficial in diseases such as Huntington's disease, and drugs that are GLP-1R agonists (acts like natural ligand to activate the receptor) such as Exendin-4 are being examined as potential therapies for the disease as well as diabetes and other memory and metabolic disorders.
Undifferentiated embryonic cell transcription factor 1 is a nucleus protein encoded by the UTF1 gene in human and functions as a transcriptional coactivator of ATF2. UTF1 is reported to interact with the ATF-2 metal binding motif via the leucine zipp
Sharpin, also known as Sharpin Shank-associated RH domain-interacting protein, Shank-interacting protein-like 1, hSIPL1, and encoded by the gene name SHARPIN/ SIPL1/ PSEC0216, is component of the LUBAC complex which conjugates linear polyubiquitin ch
E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase synoviolin (UniProt Q86TM6; also known as Synovial apoptosis inhibitor 1) is encoded by the SYVN1 (also known as HRD1, KIAA1810) gene (Gene ID 84447) in human. E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase synoviolin is a multi-transmembran
Histone-lysine N-methyltransferase 2D (EC 2.1.1.43; UniProt O14686; also known as MLL4, ALL1-related protein, Lysine N-methyltransferase 2D) is encoded by the KMT2D (also known as MLL4, ALR, KABUK1, MLL2) gene (Gene ID: 8085) in human. MLL4 methylate
Properdin (UniProt P27918; also known as Complement factor P) is encoded by the CFP (also known as PFC, PFD) gene (Gene ID 5199) in human. Properdin is a plasma glycoprotein and the only known positive regulator of the complement cascade. It binds an
ALKBH1 is a DNA lyase that is critical for DNA repair and specifically repairs alkylated single-stranded DNA and RNA containing 3-methylcytosine by oxidative demethylation. ALKBH1 can also cleave both single-stranded and double-stranded DNA at basic
Bromodomain testis-specific protein (BRDT), also known as Bromodomain-containing female sterile homeotic-like protein, or RING3-like protein, and encoded by the gene BRDT/ FSRG3 is a testis-specific chromatin protein that binds specifically histone H
Receptor-interacting serine/threonine-protein kinase 1, also known as Cell death protein RIP or Receptor-interacting protein 1 (RIP-1) or Serine/threonine-protein kinase RIP, and encoded by the gene name RIPK1 or RIP or RIP1, contains 1 death domain
ST6GAL1, also known as Beta-galactoside alpha-2/ 6-sialyltransferase 1, or Alpha 2/ 6-ST 1, and encoded by the gene symbol ST6GAL1/ SIAT1, is a member of the glycosyltransferase 29 family. ST6GAL1 has been implied to play an important role in the tra
