| storage protein deamidase | <enzyme> Deamidates glutaminyl residues; isolated from germinating wheat grains Registry number: EC 3.5.1.- Synonym: seed storage protein deamidase (26 Jun 1999) |
| neutrophil activating protein | <cytokine> A cytokine that activates neutrophils and attracts neutrophils and T-lymphocytes. It is released by several cell types including monocytes, macrophages, T-lymphocytes, fibroblasts, endothelial cells, and keratinocytes by an inflammatory stimulus. Il-8 is a member of the beta-thromboglobulin superfamily and structurally related to platelet factor 4. Acronym: IL-8 (12 Dec 1998) |
| stress induced protein | <molecular biology> Alternative and preferable name for heat-shock proteins of eukaryotic cells, which emphasises that the same small group of proteins is stimulated both by heat and various other stresses. (18 Nov 1997) |
| strong silver protein | A compound of sil'ver and protein containing not less than 7.5 and not more than 8.5% of sil'ver; used externally as an antiseptic, devoid of astringent and nearly so of irritant properties. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nim1 protein kinase | <enzyme> Dual function protein kinase which autophosphorylates serine and tyrosine residues; acts as positive regulator of mitosis by down-regulating the wee1 protein kinase pathway in yeast; has been sequenced; nim1 is also known as cdr1 Registry number: EC 2.7.1.- Synonym: nim1 gene product, cdr1 gene product (26 Jun 1999) |
| sty1 protein kinase | <enzyme> A map kinase homolog; 86% identical to hog1 and 57% identical to csbp1 map kinase; genbank x89262 Registry number: EC 2.7.1.- Synonym: sty1 gene product (26 Jun 1999) |
| non-haem iron protein | <biochemistry> Any protein containing iron but not any haem iron; e.g., NADH dehydrogenase. They are often found in oxidation-reduction reactions, and contain iron but no porphyrin groups. (17 Jul 2002) |
| nonhistone chromosomal protein | <molecular biology> Chromatin consists of DNA, histones and a very heterogeneous group of other proteins, that include DNA polymerases, regulator proteins, etc. They are often lumped together terminologically as nonhistone proteins or acidic proteins, to distinguish them from the basic histones. (18 Nov 1997) |
| nonreceptor protein tyrosine kinase | <enzyme> Kinases that phosphorylate protein tyrosine residues. These kinases play major roles in mitogenic signalling and can be divided into two subfamilies: receptor tyrosine kinases, that have an extracellular ligand binding domain, a single transmembrane domain and an intracellular tyrosine kinase domain and nonreceptor tyrosine kinases, which are soluble, cytoplasmic kinases. (18 Nov 1997) |
| non-specific protein | A protein substance that elicits a response not mediated by specific antigen-antibody reaction. (05 Mar 2000) |
| N protein | 1. Antiterminator protein of the bacteriophage _ and other phages that plays a key role in the early stages of infection. During the early phase, only two genes N and cro are transcribed, by transcription of the DNA in opposite directions. N protein binds to sites on the DNA (nut sites for N utilisation), prevents rho dependent termination and allows transcription of the genes. 2. Name was once used for GTP-binding proteins G-proteins), now obsolete and should be avoided because of confusion with N protein of bacteriophages. (18 Nov 1997) |
| Nrk protein kinase | <enzyme> Regulation is under translational control; involved in trypanosoma brucei differentiation; nrk locus has two homologous genes nrka and nrkb (97% identity); amino acid sequence has been determined Registry number: EC 2.7.10.- Synonym: nrk protein (26 Jun 1999) |
| NU-3 protein tyrosine phosphatase | <enzyme> The murine homolog of rat cam tyrosine phosphatase; has an extracellular cell-adhesion-molecule-like domain; mw 211 kD; genbank x82288 Registry number: EC 3.1.3.- Synonym: nu-3 ptp, ptp nu-3 (26 Jun 1999) |
| Nuclear actin binding protein | <molecular biology> Nuclear protein, dimer of 34 kD subunits. Binds actin with Kd of around 25M. (18 Nov 1997) |
