  3. Immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motif - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immunoreceptor_tyrosine...

    ITIMs have similar structures of S/I/V/LxYxxI/V/L, where x is any amino acid, Y is a tyrosine residue that can be phosphorylated, S is the amino acid serine, I is the amino acid isoleucine, and V is the amino acid valine. [3] ITIMs recruit SH2 domain-containing phosphatases, which inhibit cellular activation.

  4. Amino acid neurotransmitter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amino_acid_neurotransmitter

    An amino acid neurotransmitter is an amino acid which is able to transmit a nerve message across a synapse. Neurotransmitters (chemicals) are packaged into vesicles that cluster beneath the axon terminal membrane on the presynaptic side of a synapse in a process called endocytosis .

  5. Antimicrobial peptides - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antimicrobial_peptides

    Antimicrobial peptides are generally between 12 and 50 amino acids. These peptides include two or more positively charged residues provided by arginine , lysine or, in acidic environments, histidine , and a large proportion (generally >50%) of hydrophobic residues.

    An amino acid transporter is a membrane transport protein that transports amino acids. ... vesicular inhibitory amino acid transporter [10]

  7. Neuropeptide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuropeptide

    Neuropeptide Y. Neuropeptides are chemical messengers made up of small chains of amino acids that are synthesized and released by neurons.Neuropeptides typically bind to G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) to modulate neural activity and other tissues like the gut, muscles, and heart.

  8. Non-proteinogenic amino acids - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-proteinogenic_amino_acids

    Lysine. Technically, any organic compound with an amine (–NH 2) and a carboxylic acid (–COOH) functional group is an amino acid. The proteinogenic amino acids are a small subset of this group that possess a central carbon atom (α- or 2-) bearing an amino group, a carboxyl group, a side chain and an α-hydrogen levo conformation, with the exception of glycine, which is achiral, and proline ...

  9. Immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immunoreceptor_tyrosine...

    The motif contains a tyrosine separated from a leucine or isoleucine by any two other amino acids, giving the signature YxxL/I. [1] Two of these signatures are typically separated by between 6 and 8 amino acids in the cytoplasmic tail of the molecule (YxxL/Ix (6-8) YxxL/I). However, in various sources, this consensus sequence differs, mainly in ...
