Hippo signaling pathway
The Hippo signaling pathway, also known as the Salvador-Warts-Hippo (SWH) pathway, is a signaling pathway that controls organ size in animals through the regulation of cell proliferation and apoptosis. The pathway takes its name from one of its key signaling components鈥攖he protein kinase Hippo (Hpo).… Read more.

WW domain
The聽WW domain,[2]聽(also known as the聽rsp5-domain[3]聽or聽WWP repeating聽motif[4]) is a modular聽protein domain聽that mediates specific interactions with protein ligands. This domain is found in a number of unrelated signaling and structural proteins and… Read more.

Dystrophin
Dystrophin is a rod-shaped cytoplasmic protein, and a vital part of a protein complex that connects the cytoskeleton of a muscle fiber to the surrounding extracellular matrix through the cell membrane. This complex is variously known as the costamere or the dystrophin-associated protein complex (DAPC). Many… Read more.

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.… Read more.

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… Read more.

Calmodulin
Calmodulin聽(CaM) (an abbreviation for聽calcium-modulated protein) is a multifunctional intermediate calcium-binding messenger protein expressed in all聽eukaryotic cells.[1]聽It is an intracellular target of the聽secondary messengerCa2+, and the binding of Ca2+聽is required for… Read more.

YAP1聽
YAP1聽(yes-associated protein 1), also known as聽YAP聽or聽YAP65, is a protein that acts as a聽transcription coregulator聽that promotes transcription of genes involved in聽cellular proliferation聽and suppressing聽apoptotic聽genes. YAP1 is a component in the聽hippo signaling pathway聽which… Read more.

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… Read more.
