A fundamental property of many plasma-membrane proteins is their association with the
underlying cytoskeleton to determine cell shape, and to participate in adhesion, motility and …

Ectonucleotidases are ectoenzymes that hydrolyze extracellular nucleotides to the
respective nucleosides. Within the past decade, ectonucleotidases belonging to several …

The highly conserved and ubiquitously expressed 14‐3‐3 proteins regulate differentiation,
cell cycle progression and apoptosis by binding intracellular phosphoproteins involved in …

G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) mediate physiological responses to various ligands,
such as hormones, neurotransmitters and sensory stimuli. The signalling and trafficking …

PDZ domains are protein-protein recognition modules that play a central role in organizing
diverse cell signaling assemblies. These domains specifically recognize short C-terminal …

To ensure that extracellular stimuli are translated into intracellular signals of appropriate
magnitude and specificity, most signaling cascades are tightly regulated. One of the major …

The superfamily of G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) could be subclassified into 7
families (A, B, large N-terminal family B-7 transmembrane helix, C, Frizzled/Smoothened …

Copper is essential for human health and copper imbalance is a key factor in the aetiology
