Hematological and neurological expressed 1 protein (HN1) is a 154 amino acid member of the HN1 family. HN1 has been proposed to play a role in embryo development, specifically hemopoietic cell and neurological development. Localized to the nucleus, HN1 is expressed in many fetal and adult tissues, with highest levels of expression in brain, colon, prostate, testis, thymus, skeletal muscle, peripheral blood cells and placenta. HN1 has been identified to have processed pseudogenes in the mous

Gas2 is a 313 amino acid protein encoded by the human gene GAS2. Gas2 is thought to play a role in apoptosis by acting as a cell death substrate for caspases. Gas2, a component of the microfilament system, is cleaved by a caspase (caspase-3 and caspase-7) at Asparagine 278 during apoptosis. The cleaved form resulting from this dramatically induces the rearrangement of the Actin cytoskeleton and causes potent changes in the shape of the affected cells. Gas2 is believed to also be involved in t

GGH is a 318 amino acid protein that is secreted into the extracellular space and is also localized to both the lysosome and the melanosome. Functioning as a hydrolase, GGH contains one gamma-glutamyl hydrolase domain through which it catalyzes the hydrolysis of polyglutamate sidechains from pteroylpolyglutamates, specifically hydrolyzing gamma-glutamyl bonds. Via its catalytic activity, GGH may play a role in the bioavailability and metabolic activity of pteroylpolyglutamates. Polymorphisms

The protein encoded by this gene is an interleukin 5 specific subunit of a heterodimeric cytokine receptor. The receptor is comprised of a ligand specific alpha subunit and a signal transducing beta subunit shared by the receptors for interleukin 3(IL3), colony stimulating factor 2 (CSF2/GM-CSF), and interleukin 5(IL5). The binding of this protein to IL5 depends on the beta subunit. The beta subunit is activated by the ligand binding, and is required for the biological activities of IL5. Thi

The protein encoded by this gene is the alpha subunit of the heterodimeric receptor for colony stimulating factor 2, a cytokine which controls the production, differentiation, and function of granulocytes and macrophages. The encoded protein is a member of the cytokine family of receptors. This gene is found in the pseudoautosomal region (PAR) of the X and Y chromosomes. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene, with some of the isoforms being me
