Components of the extracellular matrix exert myriad effects on tissues throughout the body. In particular, the laminins, a family of heterotrimeric...
Laminin subunit beta-1 is the beta chain isoform laminin, beta 1. The beta 1 chain has 7 structurally distinct domains which it shares with other beta chain...
Laminin subunit beta-2 is the beta chain isoform laminin, beta 2. The beta 2 chain contains the 7 structural domains typical of beta chains of laminin,...
LAMB3 is a laminin that belongs to a family of basement membrane proteins. This protein is a beta subunit laminin, which together with an alpha and a gamma...
LAMC2 is the gamma chain isoform laminin, gamma 2. The gamma 2 chain, formerly thought to be a truncated version of beta chain (B2t), is highly homologous to...
The protein encoded by LAMP2 is a member of a family of membrane glycoproteins. This glycoprotein provides selectins with carbohydrate ligands. It may play a...
LASP1 encodes a member of a LIM protein subfamily which is characterized by a LIM motif and a domain of Src homology region 3. This protein functions as an...
LASS2 has sequence similarity to yeast longevity assurance gene 1. Mutation or overexpression of the related gene in yeast has been shown to alter yeast...
Longevity assurance genes (LAGs) represent a subgroup of the homeobox gene family.Like other LAG family members, the LASS6 protein contained a homeodomain...
Linker of Activated T cells also known as LAT is a protein which is encoded by the LAT gene. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants...
LPS-binding protein (LBP) is serum factor known to regulate the endotoxin-induced cellular immune response. Sepsis is a morbid condition induced by a toxin,...
Lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase is an enzyme that converts free cholesterol into cholesteryl ester (a more hydrophobic form of cholesterol), which is...
By database analysis to identify human orthologs of mouse genes encoding late envelope proteins (LEPs), Marshall et al. (2001) identified LCE3B, which they...
Lipocalin-1 belongs to the lipocalin family. Lipocalins are a group of extracellular proteins that are able to bind lipophiles by enclosure within their...
NGAL (neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin) belongs to the lipocalin family of proteins. These are typically small secreted proteins characterized by...
Plastins are a family of actin-binding proteins that are conserved throughout eukaryote evolution and expressed in most tissues of higher eukaryotes. In...

CLIM1 and CLIM2 have a very high level of identity to each other and to the homologs in other species.CLIM2 encodes a 375-amino acid protein.human LMO2...
This protein catalyzes the conversion of L-lactate and NAD to pyruvate and NADH in the final step of anaerobic glycolysis. The protein is found predominantly...
LDHB and peptidase B are linked (Santachiara et al., 1970) and both loci are on chromosome 12 (Chen et al., 1973). Kitamura et al. (1971) reported the first...
