The P450 multigene family of Fontainea and insights into diterpenoid synthesis [PDF]
BMC Plant Biology, 2021 Background Cytochrome P450s (P450s) are enzymes that play critical roles in the biosynthesis of physiologically important compounds across all organisms. Although they have been characterised in a large number of plant species, no information relating to

The UDP-glucosyltransferase multigene family in
BMC Genomics, 2008 Background Glucosidation plays a major role in the inactivation and excretion of a great variety of both endogenous and exogenous compounds. A class of UDP-glycosyltransferases (UGTs) is involved in this process.

Conserved pattern-based classification of human odorant receptor multigene family [PDF]
Scientific ReportsConserved protein-coding sequences are critical for maintaining protein function across species. Odorant receptors (ORs), a large poorly understood multigene family responsible for odor detection, lack comprehensive classification methods that reflect ...

Architecture, Chromatin and Gene Organization of Toxoplasma gondii Subtelomeres
Epigenomes, 2022 Subtelomeres (ST) are chromosome regions that separate telomeres from euchromatin and play relevant roles in various biological processes of the cell. While their functions are conserved, ST structure and genetic compositions are unique to each species ...

The Multigenic Sphingomyelin Synthase Family [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2006 Sphingomyelin (SM)3 is a vital component of cellular membranes in organisms ranging from mammals to protozoa. Its production involves the enzymatic transfer of a phosphocholine head group fromphosphatidylcholine to ceramide, yielding diacylglycerol in the process.
