Label	Id	Description
Small cysteine and glycine repeat-containing protein 5	A0A286YF46	[Function: In the hair cortex, hair keratin intermediate filaments are embedded in an interfilamentous matrix, consisting of hair keratin-associated proteins (KRTAP), which are essential for the formation of a rigid and resistant hair shaft through their extensive disulfide bond cross-linking with abundant cysteine residues of hair keratins. The matrix proteins include the high-sulfur and high-glycine-tyrosine keratins.]
26S proteasome non-ATPase regulatory subunit 1	Q3TXS7	[Function: Component of the 26S proteasome, a multiprotein complex involved in the ATP-dependent degradation of ubiquitinated proteins. This complex plays a key role in the maintenance of protein homeostasis by removing misfolded or damaged proteins, which could impair cellular functions, and by removing proteins whose functions are no longer required. Therefore, the proteasome participates in numerous cellular processes, including cell cycle progression, apoptosis, or DNA damage repair.]
Cdc42-interacting protein 4	P97531	[Function: Required to coordinate membrane tubulation with reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton during endocytosis. Also acts as a link between CDC42 signaling and regulation of the actin cytoskeleton. Binds to lipids such as phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate and phosphatidylserine and promotes membrane invagination and the formation of tubules. Also enhances actin polymerization in the vicinity of membrane tubules by recruiting WASL/N-WASP which in turn activates the Arp2/3 complex. Actin polymerization and dynamin may promote the fission of membrane tubules to form endocytic vesicles. Required for the formation of podosomes, actin-rich adhesion structures specific to monocyte-derived cells. Required for translocation of GLUT4 to the plasma membrane in response to insulin signaling. May be required for the lysosomal retention of FASLG/FASL (By similarity).]
Glutathione-specific gamma-glutamylcyclotransferase 1	Q8R3J5	[Function: Catalyzes the cleavage of glutathione into 5-oxo-L-proline and a Cys-Gly dipeptide. Acts specifically on glutathione, but not on other gamma-glutamyl peptides. Glutathione depletion is an important factor for apoptosis initiation and execution. Acts as a pro-apoptotic component of the unfolded protein response pathway by mediating the pro-apoptotic effects of the ATF4-ATF3-DDIT3/CHOP cascade (By similarity). Negative regulator of Notch signaling pathway involved in embryonic neurogenesis: acts by inhibiting Notch cleavage by furin, maintaining Notch in an immature inactive form, thereby promoting neurogenesis in embryos (PubMed:22445366).]
3-mercaptopyruvate sulfurtransferase	P97532	[Function: Transfer of a sulfur ion to cyanide or to other thiol compounds. Also has weak rhodanese activity. Detoxifies cyanide and is required for thiosulfate biosynthesis. Acts as an antioxidant. In combination with cysteine aminotransferase (CAT), contributes to the catabolism of cysteine and is an important producer of hydrogen sulfide in the brain, retina and vascular endothelial cells. Hydrogen sulfide H(2)S is an important synaptic modulator, signaling molecule, smooth muscle contractor and neuroprotectant. Its production by the 3MST/CAT pathway is regulated by calcium ions.]
Peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase FKBP1B	P97534	[Function: Has the potential to contribute to the immunosuppressive and toxic effects of FK506 and rapamycin. PPIases accelerate the folding of proteins. It catalyzes the cis-trans isomerization of proline imidic peptide bonds in oligopeptides.]
Phospholipase A1 member A	P97535	[Function: Hydrolyzes the ester bond at the sn-1 position of glycerophospholipids and produces 2-acyl lysophospholipids. Hydrolyzes phosphatidylserine (PS) in the form of liposomes and 1-acyl-2 lysophosphatidylserine (lyso-PS), but not triolein, phosphatidylcholine (PC), phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), phosphatidic acid (PA) or phosphatidylinositol (PI). Hydrolysis of lyso-PS in peritoneal mast cells activated by receptors for IgE leads to stimulate histamine production.]
Cullin-associated NEDD8-dissociated protein 1	P97536	[Function: Key assembly factor of SCF (SKP1-CUL1-F-box protein) E3 ubiquitin ligase complexes that promotes the exchange of the substrate-recognition F-box subunit in SCF complexes, thereby playing a key role in the cellular repertoire of SCF complexes. Acts as a F-box protein exchange factor. The exchange activity of CAND1 is coupled with cycles of neddylation conjugation: in the deneddylated state, cullin-binding CAND1 binds CUL1-RBX1, increasing dissociation of the SCF complex and promoting exchange of the F-box protein. Probably plays a similar role in other cullin-RING E3 ubiquitin ligase complexes (By similarity). May indirectly enhance transcription from various types of promoters.]
Olfactory receptor 2T5	Q6IEZ7	[Function: Odorant receptor.]
Ras-related protein M-Ras	P97538	[Function: May serve as an important signal transducer for a novel upstream stimuli in controlling cell proliferation. Weakly activates the MAP kinase pathway (By similarity).]
Ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase 49	Q6P9L4	[Function: Specifically deubiquitinates histone H2B at 'Lys-120' (H2BK120Ub). H2BK120Ub is a specific tag for epigenetic transcriptional activation and acts as a regulator of mRNA splicing. Deubiquitination is required for efficient cotranscriptional splicing of a large set of exons (By similarity).]
Pentatricopeptide repeat-containing protein 2, mitochondrial	Q8R3K3	[Function: Involved in mitochondrial RNA maturation and mitochondrial respiratory chain function.]
Olfactory receptor 4F3/4F16/4F29	Q6IEY1	[Function: Odorant receptor.]
Kinesin-like protein KIF15	Q6P9L6	[Function: Plus-end directed kinesin-like motor enzyme involved in mitotic spindle assembly.]
Contactin-3	Q07409	[Function: Contactins mediate cell surface interactions during nervous system development. Has some neurite outgrowth-promoting activity (By similarity).]
Olfactory receptor 10K2	Q6IF99	[Function: Odorant receptor.]
Mast cell protease 4	P97592
Solute carrier organic anion transporter family member 3A1	Q8R3L5	[Function: Mediates the Na(+)-independent transport of organic anions. Mediates transport of prostaglandins (PG) E1 and E2, thyroxine (T4), deltorphin II, BQ-123 and vasopressin.]
Mast cell protease 8	P97594
Cyclin-dependent kinase 8	Q8R3L8	[Function: Component of the Mediator complex, a coactivator involved in regulated gene transcription of nearly all RNA polymerase II-dependent genes. Mediator functions as a bridge to convey information from gene-specific regulatory proteins to the basal RNA polymerase II transcription machinery. Mediator is recruited to promoters by direct interactions with regulatory proteins and serves as a scaffold for the assembly of a functional preinitiation complex with RNA polymerase II and the general transcription factors. Phosphorylates the CTD (C-terminal domain) of the large subunit of RNA polymerase II (RNAp II), which may inhibit the formation of a transcription initiation complex. Phosphorylates CCNH leading to down-regulation of the TFIIH complex and transcriptional repression. Recruited through interaction with MAML1 to hyperphosphorylate the intracellular domain of NOTCH, leading to its degradation (By similarity).]
