Signal peptide — A signal peptide is a short (3 60 amino acids long) peptide chain that directs the post translational transport of a protein. Signal peptides may also be called targeting signals, signal sequences, transit peptides, or localization signals. The… … Wikipedia
Signal peptide peptidase — The Signal Peptide Peptidase (SPP) and its homologs (SPPL2a/b/c, SPPL3) are a class of transmembrane aspartyl proteases with the conserved motives YD ... GxGD ...PALL. Their sequences are highly conserved in different vertebrate species. Their… … Wikipedia
ER retention — refers to proteins that are retained in the endoplasmic reticulum, or ER, after folding; these are known as ER resident proteins.Their localization to the ER often depends on certain sequences of amino acids located at the N terminal or C… … Wikipedia

Peptide signal — Un peptide signal est une chaîne peptidique d une protéine servant à adresser celle ci à un compartiment cellulaire (organite) particulier, chez les eucaryotes ; ou dans le périplasme, voire le milieu extracellulaire, chez les procaryotes.… … Wikipédia en Français
Voltage-dependent calcium channel — Voltage dependent calcium channels (VDCC) are a group of voltage gated ion channels found in excitable cells (e.g., muscle, glial cells, neurons, etc.) with a permeability to the ion Ca2+.[1][2] These channels are slightly permeable to sodium… … Wikipedia
G protein-coupled receptor — G protein coupled receptors (GPCRs), also known as seven transmembrane domain receptors, 7TM receptors, heptahelical receptors, and G protein linked receptors (GPLR), comprise a large protein family of transmembrane receptors that sense molecules … Wikipedia
HIV Rev response element — The Rev response element (RRE) is a region in the RNA molecule of the HIV env gene. Rev has a nuclear export signal and is essential for the export of the viral RNA out of the nucleus. snRNAs have a nuclear retention signal and prevent unspliced… … Wikipedia
C-terminus — A tetrapeptide (example: Val Gly Ser Ala) with green highlighted N terminal α amino acid (example: L valine) and blue marked C terminal α amino acid (example: L alanine). The C terminus (also … Wikipedia
Bulk movement — In cell biology, bulk flow is the process by which proteins without a sorting signal travel to and from different cellular compartments. Proteins often have sorting signals, either transport signals or retention signals, specifying if a protein… … Wikipedia
