ABRA (gene)
Encyclopedia
Actin-binding Rho-activating protein is a protein
that in humans is encoded by the ABRA gene
. The mouse and rat homologues are known as STARS (striated muscle activator of Rho signalling) and MS1 (myocyte stress 1) respectively.
MS1/STARS is regulated by MyoD during myogenic differentiation of the C2C12 cell line.
Protein
Proteins are biochemical compounds consisting of one or more polypeptides typically folded into a globular or fibrous form, facilitating a biological function. A polypeptide is a single linear polymer chain of amino acids bonded together by peptide bonds between the carboxyl and amino groups of...
