  • Domain commonly found in eukaryotic signalling proteins. (embl.de)
  • We investigated whether impaired regulation of bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) via epigenetic pathways is associated with renal cell carcinoma (RCC) pathogenesis. (oncotarget.com)
  • Seems to act as a scaffold protein in multiple signaling pathways. (string-db.org)
  • Through extensive biochemical and genetic analysis, we now know that pathways are not simply switched on with kinases and off with phosphatases. (rupress.org)
  • High-resolution structures of GPR56 and LPHN3 in their active, G-protein-coupled states, reveal that after dissociation of the extracellular region, the decrypted TA peptides engage the seven-transmembrane domain core with a notable conservation of interactions that also involve extracellular loop 2. (stanford.edu)
  • This makes kinase signaling particularly amenable to comparative studies, and kinase activity a particularly good readout of the physiological state of any cell. (wormbook.org)
  • Defects in these networks result in a variety of disease states making protein kinases important targets for drug design [ 3 ]. (biomedcentral.com)
  • We show that it is possible to predict proteins that are likely to be targets of CDKs in S. cerevisiae by searching for proteins that contain clustered matches to the CDK consensus. (biomedcentral.com)
