Nischarin is a protein that in humans is encoded by the NISCH gene. [3] [4] [5] [6]
This gene encodes a nonadrenergic imidazoline-1 receptor protein that localizes to the inner layer of the plasma membrane as well as early and recycling endosome membranes. It is a scaffold protein related to Sorting nexins and it regulates protein cargo traffic. The orthologous mouse protein has been shown to influence cytoskeletal organization and cell migration by binding to alpha-5-beta-1 integrin. In humans, this protein has been shown to bind to the adapter insulin receptor substrate 4 (IRS4) to mediate translocation of alpha-5 integrin from the cell membrane to endosomes. In human cardiac tissue, this gene was found to affect cell growth and death while in neural tissue it affected neuronal growth and differentiation. [5] [6]
Expression of this protein was reduced in human breast cancers while its overexpression reduced tumor growth and metastasis; possibly by limiting the expression of alpha-5 integrin. [5]
NISCH has been shown to interact with IRS4, [3] Integrin alpha 5, [7] and small GTPases Rac1, Rab4a, Rab9a, Rab14 and Rab38 in GTP-bound form. [8] NISCH also interacts with phospholipid PI(3)P via its PX domain. [9]
CD11c, also known as Integrin, alpha X (ITGAX), is a gene that encodes for CD11c.
Integrin beta-1 (ITGB1), also known as CD29, is a cell surface receptor that in humans is encoded by the ITGB1 gene. This integrin associates with integrin alpha 1 and integrin alpha 2 to form integrin complexes which function as collagen receptors. It also forms dimers with integrin alpha 3 to form integrin receptors for netrin 1 and reelin. These and other integrin beta 1 complexes have been historically known as very late activation (VLA) antigens.
Integrin alpha-V is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ITGAV gene.
Integrin alpha-5 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ITGA5 gene.
Relaxin/insulin-like family peptide receptor 3, also known as RXFP3, is a human G-protein coupled receptor.
In enzymology, an agmatinase (EC 3.5.3.11) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
Imidazoline receptors are the primary receptors on which clonidine and other imidazolines act. There are three main classes of imidazoline receptor: I1 is involved in inhibition of the sympathetic nervous system to lower blood pressure, I2 has as yet uncertain functions but is implicated in several psychiatric conditions, and I3 regulates insulin secretion.
Integrin beta-5 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ITGB5 gene.
40S ribosomal protein SA is a ribosomal protein that in humans is encoded by the RPSA gene. It also acts as a cell surface receptor, in particular for laminin, and is involved in several pathogenic processes.
Integrin beta-6 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ITGB6 gene. It is the β6 subunit of the integrin αvβ6. Integrins are αβ heterodimeric glycoproteins which span the cell’s membrane, integrating the outside and inside of the cell. Integrins bind to specific extracellular proteins in the extracellular matrix or on other cells and subsequently transduce signals intracellularly to affect cell behaviour. One α and one β subunit associate non-covalently to form 24 unique integrins found in mammals. While some β integrin subunits partner with multiple α subunits, β6 associates exclusively with the αv subunit. Thus, the function of ITGB6 is entirely associated with the integrin αvβ6.
Calcium and integrin-binding protein 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CIB1 gene and is located in Chromosome 15. The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the calcium-binding protein family. The specific function of this protein has not yet been determined; however this protein is known to interact with DNA-dependent protein kinase and may play a role in kinase-phosphatase regulation of DNA end-joining. This protein also interacts with integrin alpha(IIb)beta(3), which may implicate this protein as a regulatory molecule for alpha(IIb)beta(3).
Mannose-6-phosphate receptor binding protein 1 (M6PRBP1) is a protein which in humans is encoded by the M6PRBP1 gene. Its gene product, as well as the gene itself, is commonly known as TIP47.
Interleukin 13 receptor, alpha 1, also known as IL13RA1 and CD213A1, is a human gene.
Integrin beta-8 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ITGB8 gene.
Integrin alpha-8 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ITGA8 gene.
Prostaglandin F2 receptor negative regulator is a protein that in humans is encoded by the PTGFRN gene. PTGFRN has also been designated as CD315.
CD79b molecule, immunoglobulin-associated beta, also known as CD79B, is a human gene.
Integrin alpha-11 is a protein that, in humans, is encoded by the ITGA11 gene.
Beta-soluble NSF attachment protein is a SNAP protein involved in vesicular trafficking and exocytosis which is encoded by the NAPB gene humans is.
Sorting nexin-18 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SNX18 gene.
