The Zoghbi lab had earlier identified TYK2—an enzyme that adds phosphate to Tyrosine groups—as a potential regulator of tau levels and that knocking down the TYK2 gene reduced tau levels in ...

NSE is a neuronal isoform of the glycolytic enzyme enolase (2-phospho-d-glycerate hydrolase) that is involved in glucose metabolism. NSE is a dimeric enzyme mainly expressed in neurons (γγ ...

Hydrolases are enzymes that catalyze the cleavage of a covalent bond using water. Types of hydrolase include esterases, such as phosphatases, that act on ester bonds, and proteases or peptidases ...

Biochemists from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have discovered a new subclass of trifunctional enzymes in gram-positive bacteria, which play a critical role in the biosynthesis of an ...

The functions of most proteins are yet to be determined. The function of an enzyme is often defined by its interacting partners, including its substrate and product, and its role in larger metabolic ...
