Chromosome 18 is one of the 23 pairs of chromosomes in humans. People normally have two copies of this chromosome. ... encoding protein Myosin regulatory light chain 12A;
In humans. There are two types of light chain in humans: kappa (κ) chain, encoded by the immunoglobulin kappa locus (IGK@) on chromosome 2 (locus: 2p11.2) lambda (λ) chain, encoded by the immunoglobulin lambda locus (IGL@) on chromosome 22 (locus: 22q11.2) Antibodies are produced by B lymphocytes, each expressing only one class of light chain.
Bcl-2 derives its name from B-cell lymphoma 2, as it is the second member of a range of proteins initially described in chromosomal translocations involving chromosomes 14 and 18 in follicular lymphomas. Orthologs (such as Bcl2 in mice) have been identified in numerous mammals for which complete genome data are available.
It is an X-linked recessive inheritance trait, stemming from a mutated (abnormal) version of the IL2RG gene located on the X-chromosome. This gene encodes the interleukin receptor common gamma chain protein, which is a cytokine receptor sub-unit that is part of the receptors for IL-2, IL-4, IL-7, IL-9, IL-15 and IL-21.
Myosin-11 is a smooth muscle myosin belonging to the myosin heavy chain family. Myosin-11 is a subunit of a hexameric protein that consists of two heavy chain subunits and two pairs of non-identical light chain subunits. It is a major contractile protein, converting chemical energy into mechanical energy through the hydrolysis of ATP .
Collagen alpha-1 (IV) chain (COL4A1) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the COL4A1 gene on chromosome 13. [5] [6] It is ubiquitously expressed in many tissues and cell types. [7] COL4A1 is a subunit of the type IV collagen and plays a role in angiogenesis. [8] Mutations in the gene have been linked to diseases of the brain, muscle ...
CD74. HLA class II histocompatibility antigen gamma chain also known as HLA-DR antigens-associated invariant chain or CD74 ( C luster of D ifferentiation 74), is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CD74 gene. [5] [6] The invariant chain (Abbreviated Ii) is a polypeptide which plays a critical role in antigen presentation.
The major histocompatibility complex ( MHC) is a large locus on vertebrate DNA containing a set of closely linked polymorphic genes that code for cell surface proteins essential for the adaptive immune system. These cell surface proteins are called MHC molecules . The name of this locus comes from its discovery through the study of transplanted ...
