APC

APC  

Reference type:
Overview Page
Subject:
Science and technology, Chemistry
The human gene for adenomatous polyposis coli protein. The gene is a tumour suppressor, and mutations are associated with familial adenomatous polyposis, Gardner's syndrome, etc. and contribute to ...
casein kinases

casein kinases  

Reference type:
Overview Page
Subject:
Science and technology, Chemistry
A group of kinases that preferentially phosphorylate acidic proteins such as caseins but can phosphorylate a large number of proteins. Casein kinase 1 (EC 2.7.11.1, multiple isoforms, ~415 aa) ...
cellular signal transduction

cellular signal transduction  

Reference type:
Overview Page
Subject:
Science and technology, Life Sciences
The pathways through which cells receive external signals and transmit, amplify, and direct them internally. The pathway begins with cell-surface receptors (q.v.) and may end in the cell nucleus with ...
patched

patched  

Reference type:
Overview Page
Subject:
Science and technology, Chemistry
The human homologue of the Drosophila gene patched. PTCH1 encodes a transmembrane protein with homology to bacterial proton-driven transmembrane molecular transporters and represses genes encoding ...
ryk

ryk  

Reference type:
Overview Page
Subject:
Science and technology, Chemistry
An atypical receptor protein tyrosine kinase that functions as a coreceptor along with Frizzled for Wnt ligands and binds to dishevelled, through which it activates the canonical Wnt pathway.
WIF-1

WIF-1  

Reference type:
Overview Page
Subject:
Science and technology, Chemistry
abbr. for Wnt‐inhibitory factor‐1. See Wnt.
wingless

wingless  

Reference type:
Overview Page
Subject:
Science and technology, Chemistry
A gene in Drosophila melanogaster that encodes a protein in the WNT family, probably a growth factor that acts on neighbouring cells to regulate the engrailed gene. A homologue is present in the ...
