| drosophila heat-shock protein | <protein> Proteins which are immediately produced when the Drosophila fruit fly is exposed for a short time to extreme heat or other stress, such as toxic substances or alcohol. (09 Oct 1997) |

| ice nucleation protein | <protein> Protein produced by some gram-negative bacteria that promote the nucleation of ice, apparently by aligning water molecules along repeated domains of 48 amino acids, that consist of 16 residue repeats containing the conserved octamer AGYGSTxT. Now finding commercial use in snow making at ski resorts. (18 Nov 1997) |
| I kappa B alpha-associated protein kinase | <enzyme> Isolated from human monocytic cell line; phosphorylates ser(293), ser(288), and thr(291) of ikappabalpha Registry number: EC 2.7.10.- Synonym: ikappabalpha-associated protein kinase, ikappab-alpha-associated protein kinase, ikappabalpha kinase (26 Jun 1999) |
| immune protein | An immunoglobulin molecule that has a specific amino acid sequence by virtue of which it interacts only with the antigen that induced its synthesis in cells of the lymphoid series (especially plasma cells) or with antigen closely related to it. Antibodies are classified according to their ode of action as agglutinins, bacteriolysins, haemolysins, opsonins, precipitins, etc. (18 Nov 1997) |
| insulin-like growth-factor binding protein 1 | One of the six homologous proteins that specifically bind insulin-like growth factors (somatomedins) and modulate their mitogenic and metabolic actions. The function of this protein is not completely defined. However, several studies demonstrate that it inhibits igf binding to cell surface receptors and thereby inhibits igf-mediated mitogenic and cell metabolic actions. (proc soc exp biol med 1993;204(1):4-29) (12 Dec 1998) |
| insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 2 | One of the six homologous soluble proteins that bind insulin-like growth factors (somatomedins) and modulate their mitogenic and metabolic actions at the cellular level. (12 Dec 1998) |
| insulin-like growth factor binding protein 3 | One of the six homologous soluble proteins that bind insulin-like growth factors (somatomedins) and modulate their mitogenic and metabolic actions at the cellular level. (12 Dec 1998) |

| insulin-like-growth-factor-binding protein 6 | One of the six homologous soluble proteins that bind insulin-like growth factors (somatomedins) and modulate their mitogenic and metabolic actions at the cellular level. (12 Dec 1998) |
| insulin receptor protein-tyrosine kinase | <enzyme> A catalytic protein-tyrosine kinase domain found on the cytoplasmic beta-portion of the insulin receptor. Registry number: EC 2.7.1.- (12 Dec 1998) |
| insulin receptor substrate-1 protein | <chemical> Amino acid sequence given in first source; a 180 kD protein that contains multiple phosphorylated tyrosine residues after insulin stimulation; human and rat forms (hirs-1 and irs-1) are homologous Synonym: insulin receptor substrate-1-like protein, irs-1 protein, irs-1 gene product, hirs-1 protein, hirs-1 gene product, insulin receptor substrate 1, insulin receptor substrate-1 (05 Dec 1998) |
| integral membrane protein | <protein> A protein that is firmly anchored in a membrane (unlike a peripheral membrane protein). most is known about the integral proteins of the plasma membrane, where important examples include hormone receptors, ion channels and transport proteins. An integral protein need not cross the entire membrane, those that do are referred to as transmembrane proteins. (18 Nov 1997) |
| integrase protein | <enzyme> An enzyme of the bacteriophage lambda (_) that catalyses the integration of phage DNA into the host DNA. (18 Nov 1997) |
| intestinal 15 kD protein | <chemical> From rat ileum; potent lipid-binding protein; mw 15 kD; amino acid sequence given in first source was found to be highly homologous to gastrotropin and rat liver fatty acid-binding proteins; same size transcript also found in ovary; may be involved in metabolism of steroids Synonym: i-15p (05 Dec 1998) |
