Enzyme
Enzymes are proteins that catalyze chemical reactions. In enzymatic reactions, the molecules at the beginning of the process, called substrates, are converted into different molecules, called products. Almost all chemical reactions in a biological cell need enzymes in order to occur at rates...

Gene
A gene is a molecular unit of heredity of a living organism. It is a name given to some stretches of DNA and RNA that code for a type of protein or for an RNA chain that has a function in the organism. Living beings depend on genes, as they specify all proteins and functional RNA chains...

Interactions
MED24 has been shown to interactProtein-protein interaction
Protein–protein interactions occur when two or more proteins bind together, often to carry out their biological function. Many of the most important molecular processes in the cell such as DNA replication are carried out by large molecular machines that are built from a large number of protein...

Cyclin-dependent kinase 8
Cell division protein kinase 8 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the CDK8 gene.-Interactions:Cyclin-dependent kinase 8 has been shown to interact with MED16, MED26, MED17, MED14, CREB binding protein, MED1, MED6, MED24, CCNC, POLR2A, MED21, SMARCB1, MED12 and CRSP3....

Calcitriol receptor
The calcitriol receptor, also known as the vitamin D receptor and also known as NR1I1 , is a member of the nuclear receptor family of transcription factors...
and BRCA1
BRCA1
BRCA1 is a human caretaker gene that produces a protein called breast cancer type 1 susceptibility protein, responsible for repairing DNA. The first evidence for the existence of the gene was provided by the King laboratory at UC Berkeley in 1990...
