Genes

Natural killer cell granule protein 7 (NKG7 protein) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the NKG7 gene. The protein is under study regarding potential in cancer research into T cell activity. A role of the NKG7 protein in regulating cell resistance and fighting tumors in certain types of cancer is being studied because of its ability to recognize and kill cancer cells through CD8+ T cell resilience that is essential for anti-tumor activity. The research suggests that the NKG7 protein allows the CD8+ T cells to continue killing malignant cells in certain circumstances and may prevent gro

Claudin-17 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CLDN17 gene. It belongs to the group of claudins; claudins are cell-cell junction proteins that keep that maintains cell- and tissue-barrier function. It forms anion-selective paracellular channels and is localized mainly in kidney proximal tubules.

Tonsoku-like, DNA repair protein is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TONSL gene.

WAP, follistatin/kazal, immunoglobulin, kunitz and netrin domain containing 2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the WFIKKN2 gene.

A minigene is a minimal gene fragment that includes an exon and the control regions necessary for the gene to express itself in the same way as a wild type gene fragment. This is a minigene in its most basic sense. More complex minigenes can be constructed containing multiple exons and intron(s). Minigenes provide a valuable tool for researchers evaluating splicing patterns both in vivo and in vitro biochemically assessed experiments. Specifically, minigenes are used as splice reporter vectors (also called exon-trapping vectors) and act as a probe to determine which factors are important in sp

Rho GDP-dissociation inhibitor 2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ARHGDIB gene. Aliases of this gene include RhoGDI2, GDID4, Rho GDI 2, and others.

Succinate dehydrogenase complex assembly factor 2, formerly known as SDH5 and also known as SDH assembly factor 2 or SDHAF2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SDHAF2 gene. This gene encodes a mitochondrial protein needed for the flavination of a succinate dehydrogenase complex subunit required for activity of the complex. Mutations in this gene are associated with pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma.

CXorf49 is a protein, which in humans is encoded by the gene chromosome X open reading frame 49(CXorf49).

BRCA1-associated ATM activator 1 is a protein in humans that is encoded by the BRAT1 gene.

RIMS binding protein 2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the RIMBP2 gene. This protein plays a significant role in synaptic transmission and is involved in the regulation of voltage-gated calcium channels, which are crucial for neurotransmitter release at synapses.
