Terms Related to Contractile Proteins

• Parvalbumins

  Low molecular weight, calcium binding muscle proteins. Their physiological function is possibly related to the contractile process.

• Ubiquitin Like Proteins

  A family of proteins that are structurally-related to Ubiquitin. Ubiquitins and ubiquitin-like proteins participate in diverse cellular functions, such as protein degradation and HEAT-SHOCK RESPONSE, ...

• 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, ...

• Cell Surface Proteins

  Proteins which are found in membranes including cellular and intracellular membranes. They consist of two types, peripheral and integral proteins. They include most membrane-associated enzymes, ...

• Cell Cycle Proteins

  Proteins that control the cell division cycle. This family of proteins includes a wide variety of classes, including CYCLIN-DEPENDENT KINASES, mitogen-activated kinases, CYCLINS, and phosphoprotein ...

• Plant Proteins

  Proteins found in plants (flowers, herbs, shrubs, trees, etc.). The concept does not include proteins found in vegetables for which VEGETABLE PROTEINS is available.

• cdc Proteins

  Proteins that control the cell division cycle. This family of proteins includes a wide variety of classes, including CYCLIN-DEPENDENT KINASES, mitogen-activated kinases, CYCLINS, and phosphoprotein ...
