| structure proteins | Proteins whose role is for structure and support in tissue and within the cell; e.g., the collagens. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| nuclear proteins | Proteins found in the nucleus of a cell. Do not confuse with nucleoproteins which are proteins conjugated with nucleic acids, that are not necessarily present in the nucleus. (12 Dec 1998) |
| nucleocapsid proteins | Viral proteins found in either the nucleocapsid or the viral core (viral core proteins). (12 Dec 1998) |
| dental enamel proteins | <dentistry> The proteins that are part of the dental enamel matrix. (12 Dec 1998) |
| DNA-binding proteins | Proteins which bind to DNA. The family includes proteins which bind to both double- and single-stranded DNA and also includes specific DNA binding proteins in serum which can be used as markers for malignant diseases. (12 Dec 1998) |
| immediate-early proteins | Proteins that are coded by immediate-early genes, in the absence of de novo protein synthesis. The term was originally used exclusively for viral regulatory proteins that were synthesised just after viral integration into the host cell. It is also used to describe cellular proteins which are synthesised immediately after the resting cell is stimulated by extracellular signals. (12 Dec 1998) |
| insect proteins | Proteins found in any species of insect. (12 Dec 1998) |
| insulin-like growth-factor-binding proteins | A family of soluble proteins that bind insulin-like growth factors and modulate their biological actions at the cellular level. (int j gynaecol obstet 1992;39(1):3-9) (12 Dec 1998) |
| integral proteins | Proteins that cannot be easily separated from a biomembrane. Synonym: intrinsic proteins. (05 Mar 2000) |
| intermediate filament proteins | Filaments 7-11 nm in diameter found in the cytoplasm of all cells. Many specific proteins belong to this group, e.g., desmin, vimentin, prekeratin, decamin, skeletin, neurofilin, neurofilament protein, and glial fibrillary acid protein. (12 Dec 1998) |
| intrinsic proteins | Proteins that cannot be easily separated from a biomembrane. Synonym: intrinsic proteins. (05 Mar 2000) |
| iron-sulfur proteins | A group of proteins possessing only the iron-sulfur complex as the prosthetic group. These proteins participate in all major pathways of electron transport: photosynthesis, respiration, hydroxylation and bacterial hydrogen and nitrogen fixation. (12 Dec 1998) |
| oncogene proteins | Proteins coded by oncogenes. They include proteins resulting from the fusion of an oncogene and another gene (oncogene proteins, fusion). (12 Dec 1998) |
| oncogene proteins, fusion | The translation products of the fusion between an oncogene and another gene. The latter may be of viral or cellular origin. (12 Dec 1998) |
| oncogene proteins v-abl | Transforming proteins encoded by the abl oncogenes. Oncogenic transformation of c-abl to v-abl occurs by insertional activation that results in deletions of specific n-terminal amino acids. (12 Dec 1998) |
