Tubulin alpha-1A chain
Tubulin alpha-1A chain is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TUBA1Agene.[5][6][7] Background Tubulin alpha-1A chain is an alpha-tubulin that participates in the formation of microtubules – structural proteins that participate in cytoskeletal structure.…
Filopodia
Filopodia (singular filopodium) are slender cytoplasmic projections that extend beyond the leading edge of lamellipodia in migrating cells.[1] Within the lamellipodium, actin ribs are known as microspikes, and when they extend beyond the lamellipodia, they’re known as filopodia.[2] They contain microfilaments (also…
PAFAH1B1
Platelet-activating factor acetylhydrolase IB subunit alpha is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the PAFAH1B1gene.[5][6][7] The protein is often referred to as Lis1 and plays an important role in regulating the motor protein Dynein.[8]…
Doublecortin
Neuronal migration protein doublecortin, also known as doublin or lissencephalin-X is a protein that in humans is encoded by the DCXgene.[5] Doublecortin (DCX) is a microtubule-associated protein expressed by neuronal precursor cells and immature neurons in embryonic and adult cortical…
Syncytin-2 also known as endogenous retrovirus group frd member 1
Syncytin-2 also known as endogenous retrovirus group FRD member 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ERVFRD-1 gene.[5] This protein plays a key role in the implantation of human embryos in…
Syncytin-1 also known as enverin
Syncytin-1 also known as enverin is a protein found in humans and other primates that is encoded by the ERVW-1 gene (endogenous retrovirus group W envelope member 1). Syncytin-1 is a cell-cell fusion protein whose function is best characterized in placental…
HLA-B major histocompatibility complex, class I, B
HLA-B (major histocompatibility complex, class I, B) is a human gene that provides instructions for making a protein that plays a critical role in the immune system. HLA-B is part of a family of genes called the human…
HLA-A
Further information: Human leukocyte antigen and History and naming of human leukocyte antigens HLA-A is a group of human leukocyte antigens (HLA) that are encoded by the HLA-A locus, which is located at human chromosome 6p21.3.[1] HLA is…
Syncytiotrophoblast
Syncytiotrophoblast (from the Greek ‘syn’- “together”; ‘cytio’- “of cells”; ‘tropho’- “nutrition”; ‘blast’- “bud”) is the epithelial covering of the highly vascular embryonic placental villi, which invades the wall of the uterus to establish nutrient circulation between the embryo and the mother. It…
Cytotrophoblast
“Cytotrophoblast” is the name given to both the inner layer of the trophoblast (also called layer of Langhans) or the cells that live there. It is interior to the syncytiotrophoblast and external to the wall of…
