EDA

The EDA gene provides instructions for making a protein called ectodysplasin A. This protein is part of a signaling pathway that plays an important role in development before birth. Specifically, it is critical for interactions between two embryonic

EDAR

The EDAR gene provides instructions for making a protein called the ectodysplasin A receptor. This protein is part of a signaling pathway that plays an important role in development before birth. Specifically, it is critical for interactions between

EDARADD

The EDARADD gene provides instructions for making a protein called the EDAR-associated via death domain (EDARADD) protein. This protein is part of a signaling pathway that plays an important role in development before birth. Specifically, it is criti

EDN1

The EDN1 gene provides instructions for making a protein called endothelin-1. Proteins in the endothelin family are produced in various cells and tissues, where they are involved in the development and function of blood vessels, the production of cer

EDN3

The EDN3 gene provides instructions for making a protein called endothelin 3. Proteins in the endothelin family are produced in various cells and tissues, where they are involved in the development and function of blood vessels, the production of cer

EDNRB

The EDNRB gene provides instructions for making a protein called endothelin receptor type B. This protein is located on the surface of cells and functions as a signaling mechanism, transmitting information from outside the cell to inside the cell. Th

EFEMP2

The EFEMP2 gene provides instructions for making a protein called EGF-containing fibulin-like extracellular matrix protein 2, which is also known as fibulin-4. This protein is part of a group of proteins called fibulins. Fibulins have a variety of fu

EFHC1

The EFHC1 gene provides instructions for making a protein called EF-hand domain containing protein 1 (EFHC1). The EFHC1 protein interacts with another protein that acts as a calcium channel, allowing positively charged calcium atoms (calcium ions) to

EFNB1

The EFNB1 gene provides instructions for making a protein called ephrin B1. This protein spans the membrane that surrounds the cell. The portion outside the cell attaches (binds) to proteins called Eph receptor kinases on the surface of neighboring c
READ MORE

EFTUD2

The EFTUD2 gene provides instructions for making one part (subunit) of two complexes called the major and minor spliceosomes. Spliceosomes help process messenger RNA (mRNA), which is a chemical cousin of DNA that serves as a genetic blueprint for mak
READ MORE

EGFR

The EGFR gene provides instructions for making a receptor protein called the epidermal growth factor receptor, which spans the cell membrane so that one end of the protein remains inside the cell and the other end projects from the outer surface of t

EGLN1

The EGLN1 gene, often known as PHD2 , provides instructions for making an enzyme called prolyl hydroxylase domain 2 (PHD2). The PHD2 enzyme interacts with a protein called hypoxia-inducible factor 2-alpha (HIF-2α). This protein is one part (subunit)
