Label	Id	Description
ATP-sensitive inward rectifier potassium channel 11	Q61743	[Function: This receptor is controlled by G proteins. Inward rectifier potassium channels are characterized by a greater tendency to allow potassium to flow into the cell rather than out of it. Their voltage dependence is regulated by the concentration of extracellular potassium; as external potassium is raised, the voltage range of the channel opening shifts to more positive voltages. The inward rectification is mainly due to the blockage of outward current by internal magnesium. Can be blocked by extracellular barium. Can form cardiac and smooth muscle-type KATP channels with ABCC9. KCNJ11 forms the channel pore while ABCC9 is required for activation and regulation (By similarity).]
Dexamethasone-induced protein	Q9WUQ7
Sodium/potassium-transporting ATPase subunit alpha-4	Q9WV27	[Function: This is the catalytic component of the active enzyme, which catalyzes the hydrolysis of ATP coupled with the exchange of sodium and potassium ions across the plasma membrane. This action creates the electrochemical gradient of sodium and potassium ions, providing the energy for active transport of various nutrients. Plays a role in sperm motility (By similarity).]
Zinc finger protein 746	Q3U133	[Function: Transcription repressor that specifically binds to the 5'-TATTTT[T/G]-3' consensus sequence on promoters and repress transcription of PGC-1-alpha (PPARGC1A), thereby playing a role in regulation of neuron death.]
Protein TESPA1	Q3U132	[Function: May play a role in the regulation of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor-mediated Ca(2+) release and mitochondrial Ca(2+) uptake via the mitochondria-associated endoplasmic reticulum membrane (MAM) compartment (By similarity). Required for the development and maturation of T-cells, its function being essential for the late stages of thymocyte development. Plays a role in T-cell antigen receptor (TCR)-mediated activation of the ERK and NFAT signaling pathways, possibly by serving as a scaffolding protein that promotes the assembly of the LAT signalosome in thymocytes.]
Uncharacterized protein C16orf90	A8MZG2
Translation initiation factor eIF-2B subunit delta	Q61749	[Function: Catalyzes the exchange of eukaryotic initiation factor 2-bound GDP for GTP.]
60S ribosome subunit biogenesis protein NIP7 homolog	Q9WV50	[Function: Required for proper 34S pre-rRNA processing and 60S ribosome subunit assembly.]
Maltase-glucoamylase, intestinal	O43451	[Function: May serve as an alternate pathway for starch digestion when luminal alpha-amylase activity is reduced because of immaturity or malnutrition. May play a unique role in the digestion of malted dietary oligosaccharides used in food manufacturing.]
Acid ceramidase	Q9WV54	[Function: Lysosomal ceramidase that hydrolyzes sphingolipid ceramides into sphingosine and free fatty acids at acidic pH (PubMed:9653654, PubMed:11829492). Ceramides, sphingosine, and its phosphorylated form sphingosine-1-phosphate are bioactive lipids that mediate cellular signaling pathways regulating several biological processes including cell proliferation, apoptosis and differentiation (PubMed:9653654). Has a higher catalytic efficiency towards C12-ceramides versus other ceramides (By similarity). Also catalyzes the reverse reaction allowing the synthesis of ceramides from fatty acids and sphingosine (By similarity). For the reverse synthetic reaction, the natural sphingosine D-erythro isomer is more efficiently utilized as a substrate compared to D-erythro-dihydrosphingosine and D-erythro-phytosphingosine, while the fatty acids with chain lengths of 12 or 14 carbons are the most efficiently used (By similarity). Has also an N-acylethanolamine hydrolase activity (By similarity). By regulating the levels of ceramides, sphingosine and sphingosine-1-phosphate in the epidermis, mediates the calcium-induced differentiation of epidermal keratinocytes (By similarity). Also indirectly regulates tumor necrosis factor/TNF-induced apoptosis (PubMed:10974027). By regulating the intracellular balance between ceramides and sphingosine, in adrenocortical cells, probably also acts as a regulator of steroidogenesis (By similarity).]
Ribosomal protein S6 kinase alpha-2	Q9WUT3	[Function: Serine/threonine-protein kinase that acts downstream of ERK (MAPK1/ERK2 and MAPK3/ERK1) signaling and mediates mitogenic and stress-induced activation of transcription factors, regulates translation, and mediates cellular proliferation, survival, and differentiation. May function as tumor suppressor in epithelial ovarian cancer cells (By similarity).]
Pleckstrin-2	Q9WV52	[Function: May help orchestrate cytoskeletal arrangement. Contribute to lamellipodia formation. Overexpression of pleckstrin 2 causes large lamellipodia and peripheral ruffle formation.]
Protein mono-ADP-ribosyltransferase PARP14	Q460N5	[Function: ADP-ribosyltransferase that mediates mono-ADP-ribosylation of glutamate residues on target proteins (PubMed:16061477, PubMed:27796300, PubMed:18851833, PubMed:25043379). In contrast to PARP1 and PARP2, it is not able to mediate poly-ADP-ribosylation (PubMed:25043379). Has been shown to catalyze the mono-ADP-ribosylation of STAT1 at 'Glu-657' and 'Glu-705', thus decreasing STAT1 phosphorylation which negatively regulates pro-inflammatory cytokine production in macrophages in response to IFNG stimulation (PubMed:27796300). However, the role of ADP-ribosylation in the prevention of STAT1 phosphorylation has been called into question and it has been suggested that the inhibition of phosphorylation may be the result of sumoylation of STAT1 'Lys-703' (PubMed:29858569). Mono-ADP-ribosylates STAT6; enhancing STAT6-dependent transcription (PubMed:27796300). In macrophages, positively regulates MRC1 expression in response to IL4 stimulation by promoting STAT6 phosphorylation (PubMed:27796300). Mono-ADP-ribosylates PARP9 (PubMed:27796300).]
Glutamate-rich protein 4	A6NGS2
Macrophage-expressed gene 1 protein	Q9WV57	[Function: Plays a key role in the innate immune response following bacterial infection by polymerizing and inserting into the bacterial surface to form pores (By similarity). By breaching the surface of phagocytosed bacteria, allows antimicrobial effectors to enter the bacterial periplasmic space and degrade bacterial proteins such as superoxide dismutase sodC which contributes to bacterial virulence (By similarity). Shows antibacterial activity against a wide spectrum of Gram-positive, Gram-negative and acid-fast bacteria (By similarity). Reduces the viability of the intracytosolic pathogen L.monocytogenes by inhibiting acidification of the phagocytic vacuole of host cells which restricts bacterial translocation from the vacuole to the cytosol (By similarity). Required for the antibacterial activity of reactive oxygen species and nitric oxide (By similarity).]
C-C chemokine receptor type 9	Q9WUT7	[Function: Receptor for chemokine SCYA25/TECK. Subsequently transduces a signal by increasing the intracellular calcium ions level.]
Leukocyte surface antigen CD47	Q61735	[Function: Has a role in both cell adhesion by acting as an adhesion receptor for THBS1 on platelets, and in the modulation of integrins. Plays an important role in memory formation and synaptic plasticity in the hippocampus. Receptor for SIRPA, binding to which prevents maturation of immature dendritic cells and inhibits cytokine production by mature dendritic cells. Interaction with SIRPG mediates cell-cell adhesion, enhances superantigen-dependent T-cell-mediated proliferation and costimulates T-cell activation. May play a role in membrane transport and/or integrin dependent signal transduction. May prevent premature elimination of red blood cells. May be involved in membrane permeability changes induced following virus infection (By similarity).]
Growth/differentiation factor 2	Q9WV56	[Function: Potent circulating inhibitor of angiogenesis (By similarity). Signals through the type I activin receptor ACVRL1 but not other Alks (PubMed:25751889). Signaling through SMAD1 in endothelial cells requires TGF-beta coreceptor endoglin/ENG (PubMed:23300529).]
