Label	Id	Description
Endothelial protein C receptor	Q64695	[Function: Binds activated protein C. Enhances protein C activation by the thrombin-thrombomodulin complex; plays a role in the protein C pathway controlling blood coagulation.]
Platelet-activating factor receptor	Q62035	[Function: Receptor for platelet activating factor, a chemotactic phospholipid mediator that possesses potent inflammatory, smooth-muscle contractile and hypotensive activity. Seems to mediate its action via a G protein that activates a phosphatidylinositol-calcium second messenger system.]
Centrosomal protein of 131 kDa	Q62036	[Function: Component of centriolar satellites contributing to the building of a complex and dynamic network required to regulate cilia/flagellum formation. In proliferating cells, MIB1-mediated ubiquitination induces its sequestration within centriolar satellites, precluding untimely cilia formation initiation. In contrast, during normal and ultraviolet or heat shock cellular stress-induced ciliogenesis, its non-ubiquitinated form is rapidly displaced from centriolar satellites and recruited to centrosome/basal bodies in a microtubule- and p38 MAPK-dependent manner. Acts also as a negative regulator of BBSome ciliary trafficking (By similarity). Plays a role in sperm flagellar formation; may be involved in the regulation of intraflagellar transport (IFT) and/or intramanchette (IMT) trafficking, which are important for axoneme extension and/or cargo delivery to the nascent sperm tail (PubMed:24415959). Required for optimal cell proliferation and cell cycle progression; may play a role in the regulation of genome stability and centriole duplication in non-ciliogenic cells (By similarity). Involved in centriole duplication (PubMed:26297806). Required for CEP152, WDR62 and CEP63 centrosomal localization and promotes the centrosomal localization of CDK2 (By similarity).]
Protein tyrosine phosphatase receptor type C-associated protein	Q64697
Kynurenine/alpha-aminoadipate aminotransferase, mitochondrial	Q8N5Z0	[Function: Transaminase with broad substrate specificity. Has transaminase activity towards aminoadipate, kynurenine, methionine and glutamate. Shows activity also towards tryptophan, aspartate and hydroxykynurenine. Accepts a variety of oxo-acids as amino-group acceptors, with a preference for 2-oxoglutarate, 2-oxocaproic acid, phenylpyruvate and alpha-oxo-gamma-methiol butyric acid. Can also use glyoxylate as amino-group acceptor (in vitro).]
Protein dopey-2	Q3UHQ6	[Function: May be involved in protein traffic between late Golgi and early endosomes.]
Ceramide synthase	Q7TNV1	[Function: Involved in ceramide synthesis. In vitro, isoform 3 stimulates the production of C16-, C18- and C20-ceramides, isoform 1 slightly increases the levels of C18- and C20-ceramides, while isoform 2 exhibits only minimal activity. May interfere with adipogenesis by stimulating ceramide synthesis.]
BTB/POZ domain-containing protein KCTD17	Q8N5Z5	[Function: Is a positive regulator of ciliogenesis, playing a crucial role in the initial steps of axoneme extension. It acts as a substrate-adapter for CUL3-RING ubiquitin ligase complexes which mediate the ubiquitination and subsequent proteasomal degradation of TCHP, a protein involved in ciliogenesis down-regulation (PubMed:25270598). May be involved in endoplasmic reticulum calcium ion homeostasis (PubMed:25983243).]
Protein DEK	Q7TNV0	[Function: Involved in chromatin organization.]
Sia-alpha-2,3-Gal-beta-1,4-GlcNAc-R_alpha 2,8-sialyltransferase	Q64689	[Function: Catalyzes the transfer of sialic acid from a CMP-linked sialic acid donor onto the terminal sialic acid of an acceptor through alpha-2,8-linkages. Is active with alpha-2,3-linked, alpha-2,6-linked and alpha-2,8-linked sialic acid of N-linked oligosaccharides of glycoproteins and glycolipids. Displays preference for substrates with alpha-2,3-linked terminal sialic acid. It can form polysialic acid in vitro directly on alpha-2,3-, alpha-2,6-, or alpha-2,8-linked sialic acid.]
Beta-defensin 14	Q7TNV9	[Function: Has antibacterial activity.]
Secretory phospholipase A2 receptor	Q62028	[Function: Receptor for secretory phospholipase A2 (sPLA2). Acts as a receptor for phospholipases sPLA2-IB/PLA2G1B, sPLA2-X/PLA2G10 and, with lower affinity, sPLA2-IIA/PLA2G2A. Also able to bind to snake PA2-like toxins. Although its precise function remains unclear, binding of sPLA2 to its receptor participates in both positive and negative regulation of sPLA2 functions as well as clearance of sPLA2. Binding of sPLA2-IB/PLA2G1B induces various effects depending on the cell type, such as activation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascade to induce cell proliferation, the production of lipid mediators, selective release of arachidonic acid in bone marrow-derived mast cells. In neutrophils, binding of sPLA2-IB/PLA2G1B can activate p38 MAPK to stimulate elastase release and cell adhesion. May be involved in responses in proinflammatory cytokine productions during endotoxic shock. Also has endocytic properties and rapidly internalizes sPLA2 ligands, which is particularly important for the clearance of extracellular sPLA2s to protect their potent enzymatic activities. The soluble secretory phospholipase A2 receptor form is circulating and acts as a negative regulator of sPLA2 functions by blocking the biological functions of sPLA2-IB/PLA2G1B and sPLA2-X/PLA2G10.]
Beta-defensin 38	Q7TNV7	[Function: Synthetic Defb38 kills both Gram-negative (E.coli and P.aeruginosa) and Gram-positive (E.faecium) bacteria.]
Beta-defensin 34	Q7TNV8	[Function: Has antibacterial activity.]
