| proto-oncogene proteins c-fos | Cellular DNA-binding proteins encoded by the c-fos genes (genes, fos). They are involved in growth-related transcriptional control. C-fos combines with c-jun (proto-oncogene proteins c-jun) to form a c-fos/c-jun heterodimer (transcription factor ap-1) that binds to the tre (tpa-responsive element) in promoters of certain genes. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| proto-oncogene proteins c-jun | Cellular DNA-binding proteins encoded by the c-jun genes (genes, jun). They are involved in growth-related transcriptional control. There appear to be three distinct functions: dimerization (with c-fos), DNA-binding, and transcriptional activation. Oncogenic transformation can take place by constitutive expression of c-jun. (12 Dec 1998) |
| proto-oncogene proteins c-kit | Tyrosine kinase membrane receptors which are the natural ligands for mast cell growth factor (steel factor). This interaction is crucial for the development of haematopoietic, gonadal, and pigment stem cells. (12 Dec 1998) |
| proto-oncogene proteins c-met | <enzyme> A transmembrane tyrosine kinase that is the receptor for hepatocyte growth factor (scatter factor). It consists of an extracellular alpha chain which is disulfide linked to the transmembrane beta chain. The cytoplasmic portion contains the catalytic domain and critical sites for the regulation of kinase activity. Registry number: EC 2.7.11.- (12 Dec 1998) |
| proto-oncogene proteins c-mos | Cellular proteins encoded by the c-mos genes (genes, mos). They function in the cell cycle to maintain maturation-promoting factor in the active state and have protein-serine/threonine kinase activity. Oncogenic transformation can take place when c-mos proteins are expressed at the wrong time. (12 Dec 1998) |
| proto-oncogene proteins c-myc | Cellular DNA-binding proteins encoded by the c-myc genes. They are normally involved in nucleic acid metabolism and in mediating the cellular response to growth factors. Elevated and deregulated (constitutive) expression of c-myc proteins can cause tumourigenesis. (12 Dec 1998) |
| proto-oncogene proteins c-raf | <enzyme> A class of serine-threonine kinases involved in cellular signal transduction. Included in this class are the proto-oncogene proteins mil and raf. Raf is a component of a signal transduction pathway leading to increased gene expression through the c-jun DNA binding site, ap1. Registry number: EC 2.7.10.- (12 Dec 1998) |
| protozoan proteins | Proteins found in any species of protozoan. (12 Dec 1998) |
| prpc proteins | Normal cellular isoform of prion proteins (prions) encoded by a chromosomal gene and found in normal and scrapie-infected brain tissue, and other normal tissue. Prpc are protease-sensitive proteins whose function is unknown. Posttranslational modification of prpc into prpsc leads to infectivity. (12 Dec 1998) |
| prpsc proteins | Abnormal isoform of prion proteins (prions) resulting from a posttranslational modification of the cellular prion protein (prpc proteins). Prpsc are disease-specific proteins seen in certain human and animal neurodegenerative diseases (prion diseases). (12 Dec 1998) |
| high mobility group proteins | Family of small, nonhistone, nuclear proteins. Some appear to be involved in controlling transcription. (18 Nov 1997) |
| homeodomain proteins | Proteins encoded by homeobox genes (genes, homeobox) that exhibit structural similarity to certain prokaryotic and eukaryotic DNA-binding proteins. Homeodomain proteins are involved in the control of gene expression during morphogenesis and development (gene expression regulation, developmental). (12 Dec 1998) |
| homologous proteins | <molecular biology> Proteins that look similar and work in similar ways in different species. (09 Oct 1997) |
| serum proteins | Dissolved protein's (more than 100) of blood plasma, mainly albumins and globulins (normally 6 to 8 g/100 ml); they hold fluid in blood vessels by osmosis and include antibodies and blood-clotting protein's. Synonym: serum proteins. (05 Mar 2000) |
| silver proteins | <chemical> Compounds of silver and proteins used as topical anti-infective agents. Pharmacological action: anti-infective agents, local. (12 Dec 1998) |
