  2. Slime (homemade toy) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slime_(homemade_toy)

    Slime is a homemade toy typically created using a combination of water, glue, and borax. Videos of people playing with slime became popular on social media in the mid-2010s, which made it an international trend. A green-colored homemade slime with its characteristics being shown in the picture.

  3. Nitric oxide synthase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitric_oxide_synthase

    Activation of K + channels, which leads to hyperpolarization and relaxation Stimulates a cGMP-dependent protein kinase that activates myosin light chain phosphatase, the enzyme that dephosphorylates myosin light chains, which leads to smooth muscle relaxation.

  4. Fatty-acid amide hydrolase 1 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fatty-acid_amide_hydrolase_1

    Activation of the cannabinoid receptor CB1 or CB2 in different tissues, including skin, inhibit FAAH, and thereby increases endocannabinoid levels. [24]Based on the hydrolytic mechanism of fatty acid amide hydrolase, a large number of irreversible and reversible inhibitors of this enzyme have been developed.

  5. G protein-coupled receptor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G_protein-coupled_receptor

    The ERK2 mitogen-activated protein kinase, a key signal transduction mediator downstream of receptor activation in many pathways, has been shown to be activated in response to cAMP-mediated receptor activation in the slime mold D. discoideum despite the absence of the associated G protein α- and β-subunits. [50]

  6. Pyruvate carboxylase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyruvate_carboxylase

    The reaction it catalyzes is: pyruvate + HCO − 3 + ATP → oxaloacetate + ADP + P. It is an important anaplerotic reaction that creates oxaloacetate from pyruvate. PC contains a biotin prosthetic group [1] and is typically localized to the mitochondria in eukaryotes with exceptions to some fungal species such as Aspergillus nidulans which have a cytosolic PC.

  7. Phosphoinositide phospholipase C - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phosphoinositide_phospho...

    Activation by either G αq or G βγ G-protein subunits (making it part of a G protein-coupled receptor signal transduction pathway) or by transmembrane receptors with intrinsic or associated tyrosine kinase activity has been reported. In addition, members of the Ras superfamily of small GTPases (namely the Ras and Rho subfamilies) have also ...

  8. Zymogen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zymogen

    In biochemistry, a zymogen (/ ˈ z aɪ m ə dʒ ən,-m oʊ-/ [1] [2]), also called a proenzyme (/ ˌ p r oʊ ˈ ɛ n z aɪ m / [3] [4]), is an inactive precursor of an enzyme.A zymogen requires a biochemical change (such as a hydrolysis reaction revealing the active site, or changing the configuration to reveal the active site) for it to become an active enzyme.

  9. Cofactor (biochemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cofactor_(biochemistry)

    Cosubstrates may be released from a protein at some point, and then rebind later. Both prosthetic groups and cosubstrates have the same function, which is to facilitate the reaction of enzymes and proteins. An inactive enzyme without the cofactor is called an apoenzyme, while the complete enzyme with cofactor is called a holoenzyme. [5] [page ...
