HMGCR - 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase; Transmembrane glycoprotein that is the rate-limiting enzyme in cholesterol biosynthesis as well as in the biosynthesis of nonsterol isoprenoids that are essential for normal cell function including ubiquinone and geranylgeranyl proteins. [a.k.a. HMGCR-213, NP_001124468.1, 2R4F]

ADCY10 - Adenylate cyclase type 10; Catalyzes the formation of the signaling molecule cAMP. May function as sensor that mediates responses to changes in cellular bicarbonate and CO(2) levels. Has a critical role in mammalian spermatogenesis by producing the cAMP which regulates cAMP-responsive nuclear factors indispensable for sperm maturation in the epididymis. Induces capacitation, the maturational process that sperm undergo prior to fertilization (By similarity). Involved in ciliary beat regulation. [a.k.a. AAI17373.1, Sacy, XM_011509763.3]

KCNAB2 - Voltage-gated potassium channel subunit beta-2; Cytoplasmic potassium channel subunit that modulates the characteristics of the channel-forming alpha-subunits. Contributes to the regulation of nerve signaling, and prevents neuronal hyperexcitability (By similarity). Promotes expression of the pore-forming alpha subunits at the cell membrane, and thereby increases channel activity (By similarity). Promotes potassium channel closure via a mechanism that does not involve physical obstruction of the channel pore. Promotes KCNA4 channel closure. Modulates the functional properties of KCNA5 [...] [a.k.a. XM_011542322.2, CCDS55, ENST00000378097]

H2BC1 - Histone H2B type 1-A; Variant histone specifically required to direct the transformation of dissociating nucleosomes to protamine in male germ cells (By similarity). Entirely replaces classical histone H2B prior nucleosome to protamine transition and probably acts as a nucleosome dissociating factor that creates a more dynamic chromatin, facilitating the large-scale exchange of histones (By similarity). Core component of nucleosome (By similarity). Nucleosomes wrap and compact DNA into chromatin, limiting DNA accessibility to the cellular machineries which require DNA as a template (By [...] [a.k.a. CH471087, 5GSU, R-HSA-5693565]

ACAT2 - Acetyl-CoA acetyltransferase, cytosolic; Involved in the biosynthetic pathway of cholesterol. [a.k.a. Q9BWD1, R-HSA-556833, ENST00000472052.1]

MTOR - Serine/threonine-protein kinase mTOR; Serine/threonine protein kinase which is a central regulator of cellular metabolism, growth and survival in response to hormones, growth factors, nutrients, energy and stress signals. MTOR directly or indirectly regulates the phosphorylation of at least 800 proteins. Functions as part of 2 structurally and functionally distinct signaling complexes mTORC1 and mTORC2 (mTOR complex 1 and 2). Activated mTORC1 up-regulates protein synthesis by phosphorylating key regulators of mRNA translation and ribosome synthesis. This includes phosphorylation of EIF [...] [a.k.a. R-HSA-9006925, mammalian target of rapamycin, R-HSA-8943724]

SLC9A3R1 - Na(+)/H(+) exchange regulatory cofactor NHE-RF1; Scaffold protein that connects plasma membrane proteins with members of the ezrin/moesin/radixin family and thereby helps to link them to the actin cytoskeleton and to regulate their surface expression. Necessary for recycling of internalized ADRB2. Was first known to play a role in the regulation of the activity and subcellular location of SLC9A3. Necessary for cAMP-mediated phosphorylation and inhibition of SLC9A3. May enhance Wnt signaling. May participate in HTR4 targeting to microvilli (By similarity). Involved in the regulation of [...] [a.k.a. ENSP00000398782, ENST00000262613, SLC9A3 regulator 1]

RNF157 - E3 ubiquitin ligase RNF157; E3 ubiquitin ligase that ubiquitinates APBB1 for its degradation by the proteasome and thus prevents apoptosis and promotes survival of neurons. Has a dual role in neurons as it is also required for dendrite growth and maintenance for which its ligase activity is not critical. May act as a scaffold molecule to regulate this process. Acts as a downstream effector of the interconnected PI3K and MAPK signaling pathways and thus participates in the regulation of the cell cycle. [a.k.a. HGNC:29402, ENSP00000497353, ENST00000591355]

KCNH8 - Potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily H member 8; Pore-forming (alpha) subunit of voltage-gated potassium channel. Elicits a slowly activating, outward rectifying current. Channel properties may be modulated by cAMP and subunit assembly; Belongs to the potassium channel family. H (Eag) (TC 1.A.1.20) subfamily. Kv12.1/KCNH8 sub-subfamily. [a.k.a. XP_016861188, XR_001740010.2, uc003cbk.2]

CDCA2 - Cell division cycle-associated protein 2; Regulator of chromosome structure during mitosis required for condensin-depleted chromosomes to retain their compact architecture through anaphase. Acts by mediating the recruitment of phopsphatase PP1-gamma subunit (PPP1CC) to chromatin at anaphase and into the following interphase. At anaphase onset, its association with chromatin targets a pool of PPP1CC to dephosphorylate substrates. [a.k.a. Q3SX74, XP_024302841.1, BC104451]

ASPM - Abnormal spindle-like microcephaly-associated protein; Involved in mitotic spindle regulation and coordination of mitotic processes. The function in regulating microtubule dynamics at spindle poles including spindle orientation, astral microtubule density and poleward microtubule flux seems to depend on the association with the katanin complex formed by KATNA1 and KATNB1. Enhances the microtubule lattice severing activity of KATNA1 by recruiting the katanin complex to microtubules. Can block microtubule minus-end growth and reversely this function can be enhanced by the katanin complex [...] [a.k.a. ENST00000367407, Q8IZJ7, Q8N4D1]

MXD1 - Max dimerization protein 1; Transcriptional repressor. MAD binds with MAX to form a sequence-specific DNA-binding protein complex which recognizes the core sequence 5'-CAC[GA]TG-3'. MAD thus antagonizes MYC transcriptional activity by competing for MAX. [a.k.a. MAX dimerization protein 1, NM_001202513.1, ENSG00000059728]

MTMR4 - Myotubularin-related protein 4; Dephosphorylates proteins phosphorylated on Ser, Thr, and Tyr residues and low molecular weight phosphatase substrate para- nitrophenylphosphate. Phosphorylates phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5- trisphosphate (PIP3); Belongs to the protein-tyrosine phosphatase family. Non- receptor class myotubularin subfamily. [a.k.a. R-HSA-170834, ENST00000578259.1, XM_005257784]
