Lipases are water-soluble enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of ester chemical bonds in water-insoluble lipid substrates. Lipases are widely distributed in animals, plants and prokaryotes. The lipase family consists of triglyceride lipases, phospholipases and sphingomyelinases. By the place of ...

Androgen and Estrogen receptors (Androgen receptor and ESR1 (nuclear)) function as steroid-hormone activated transcription factors. Upon binding the hormone ligand, receptors dissociate from accessory proteins, translocate into the nucleus, dimerize, and then stimulate transcription ...

CCAAT/enhancer binding proteins (C/EBP) are a group of bZIP transcription factors, consisting of C/EBPalpha, beta, delta, epsilon, gamma and zeta, which can bind as homodimers to certain promoters and enhancers. C/EBP is important in the regulation ...
