Beta Arrestin 1 is a member of a family of proteins that are widely expressed but especially abundant in the central nervous system. Serving as an adaptor or scaffold molecule, beta Arrestin 1 is essential for mitogenic signaling. It mediates agonist dependent desensitization and internalization of G protein coupled receptors (GPCRs, e.g., beta 2 adrenergic receptor). After binding to their ligand and interacting with heterotrimeric G proteins, GPCRs are phosphorylated by G protein receptor k

This gene encodes a member of the TNF receptor associated factor (TRAF) family. TRAF proteins are associated with, and mediate signal transduction from members of the TNF receptor superfamily. The encoded protein has been shown to interact with neurotrophin receptor, p75 (NTR/NTSR1), and negatively regulate NTR induced cell death and NF-kappa B activation. This protein has been found to bind to p47phox, a cytosolic regulatory factor included in a multi-protein complex known as NAD(P)H oxidas

ZNF710 (Zinc Finger Protein 710) is a Protein Coding gene. Among its related pathways are Gene Expression. GO annotations related to this gene include nucleic acid binding and transcription cofactor activity. An important paralog of this gene is ZNF366.

NSBP1 binds specifically to nuclear core particles and acts as a transcriptional activator. [Subcellular Location] Nucleus. [Tissue Specificity] Widely expressed with highest levels in submaxillary gland, thymus, kidney and liver and lowest levels in brain, lung, pancreas and eye. [Developmental Stage] Highest levels are found in 7-day-old embryos. Levels in the 7-day-old embryo are 4-fold higher than in the adult and almost 10-fold higher than in later embryonic stages.

The product of this gene functions in the nucleotide excision repair pathway, and is required for the repair of DNA lesions such as those induced by UV light or formed by electrophilic compounds including cisplatin. The encoded protein forms a heterodimer with the XPF endonuclease (also known as ERCC4), and the heterodimeric endonuclease catalyzes the 5' incision in the process of excising the DNA lesion. The heterodimeric endonuclease is also involved in recombinational DNA repair and in t

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are highly reactive molecules that are a normal consequence of aerobic metabolism. Cellular ROS damage can induce apoptosis and spontaneous mutagenesis. Oxr1 (Oxidation resistance protein 1) is a 758 amino acid mitochondrial protein that is most likely involved in protection from oxidative damage. Oxr1 is highly conserved from yeast to humans and is specific to eukaryotes.Induced by heat and oxidative stress, the carboxyl-terminal half of Oxr1 is required for it
