ELKS/RAB6-interacting/CAST family member 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ERC1 gene. [5] [6] [7] The name ELKS is derived from "protein rich in the amino acids E, L, K and S" [8]
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of a family of RIM-binding proteins. RIMs are active zone proteins that regulate neurotransmitter release. This gene has been found fused to the receptor-type tyrosine kinase gene RET by gene rearrangement due to the translocation t(10;12)(q11;p13). Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [7] ELKS has been reported to direct vesicles with RAB6A to melanosomes. [8]
Thyroglobulin (Tg) is a 660 kDa, dimeric glycoprotein produced by the follicular cells of the thyroid and used entirely within the thyroid gland. Tg is secreted and accumulated at hundreds of grams per litre in the extracellular compartment of the thyroid follicles, accounting for approximately half of the protein content of the thyroid gland. Human TG (hTG) is a homodimer of subunits each containing 2768 amino acids as synthesized.
Midkine, also known as neurite growth-promoting factor 2 (NEGF2), is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MDK gene.
The RETproto-oncogene encodes a receptor tyrosine kinase for members of the glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) family of extracellular signalling molecules. RET loss of function mutations are associated with the development of Hirschsprung's disease, while gain of function mutations are associated with the development of various types of human cancer, including medullary thyroid carcinoma, multiple endocrine neoplasias type 2A and 2B, pheochromocytoma and parathyroid hyperplasia.
The G protein-coupled bile acid receptor 1 (GPBAR1) also known G-protein coupled receptor 19 (GPCR19), membrane-type receptor for bile acids (M-BAR) or Takeda G protein-coupled receptor 5 (TGR5) as is a protein that in humans is encoded by the GPBAR1 gene.
BRAF is a human gene that encodes a protein called B-Raf. The gene is also referred to as proto-oncogene B-Raf and v-Raf murine sarcoma viral oncogene homolog B, while the protein is more formally known as serine/threonine-protein kinase B-Raf.
Ras-related protein Rab-6A is a protein that in humans is encoded by the RAB6A gene located in the eleventh chromosome. Its main function is the regulation of protein transport from the Golgi complex to the endoplasmic reticulum and the exocytosis along with the microtubules.
NK2 homeobox 1 (NKX2-1), also known as thyroid transcription factor 1 (TTF-1), is a protein which in humans is encoded by the NKX2-1 gene.
Paired box gene 8, also known as PAX8, is a protein which in humans is encoded by the PAX8 gene.
Kinesin-like protein KIF1B is a protein that in humans is encoded by the KIF1B gene.
Zinc finger protein RFP is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TRIM27 gene.
Stromelysin-3 (SL-3) also known as matrix metalloproteinase-11 (MMP-11) is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the MMP11 gene.
Homeobox protein Hox-B3 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the HOXB3 gene.
Kinesin-like protein KIF20A is a protein that in humans is encoded by the KIF20A gene.
CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein gamma (C/EBPγ) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CEBPG gene. This gene has no introns.
Dynein light chain roadblock-type 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the DYNLRB1 gene.
Proline-rich protein PRCC is a protein that, in humans, is encoded by the PRCC gene.
Protein Hook homolog 3 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the HOOK3 gene.
Protein Niban is a protein that in humans is encoded by the FAM129A gene. Paralogs of this protein include FAM129B, and FAM129C.
High mobility group nucleosome-binding domain-containing protein 3 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the HMGN3 gene.
Cyclic AMP-responsive element-binding protein 5 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CREB5 gene.
