Gene nomenclature and protein nomenclature are not separate endeavors; they are aspects of the same whole. Any name or symbol used for a protein can potentially also ...
At the top level are all alpha proteins (domains consisting of alpha helices), all beta proteins (domains consisting of beta sheets), and mixed alpha helix/beta sheet proteins. While most proteins adopt a single stable fold, a few proteins can rapidly interconvert between one or more folds. These are referred to as metamorphic proteins. [5]
Looking from the bottom up there are ~20,000 protein coding genes in the human genome, (of which it is estimated that 12,733 already have Wikipedia articles (the Gene Wiki) about them). If one were to include splice variants, some argue that there could be as many as 500,000 unique human proteins, of which only about 900 are listed here.
Pyruvate kinase, a protein with three domains (In molecular biology, a protein domain is a region of a protein's polypeptide chain that is self-stabilizing and that folds independently from the rest. Each domain forms a compact folded three-dimensional structure. Many proteins consist of several domains, and a domain may appear in a variety of ...
A chimeric protein including two subunits and a linker protein synthesized via recombinant fusion technology. Fusion proteins or chimeric (kī-ˈmir-ik) proteins (literally, made of parts from different sources) are proteins created through the joining of two or more genes that originally coded for separate proteins.
The human cyclophilin family, as represented by the structures of the isomerase domains of some of its members. A protein family is a group of evolutionarily related proteins.In many cases, a protein family has a corresponding gene family, in which each gene encodes a corresponding protein with a 1:1 relationship.
The protein manufacturing cost remains high and there is a growing demand to develop cost efficient and rapid protein purification methods. Understanding the different protein purification methods and optimizing the downstream processing is critical to minimize production costs while maintaining the quality of acceptable standards of homogeneity.

In humans, this subset of the proteome encompasses 13-20% of all proteins, including cytokines, growth factors, extracellular matrix proteins and regulators, and shed receptors. The secretome of a specific tissue can be measured by mass spectrometry and its analysis constitutes a type of proteomics known as secretomics .
