The expanding number of members in the various human heat shock protein (HSP) families and inconsistencies their nomenclature have often led to confusion. Here, we propose new guidelines for HSP families, HSPH (HSP110), HSPC (HSP90), HSPA (HSP70), DNAJ (HSP40), HSPB (small HSP) as well chaperonin HSPD/E (HSP60/HSP10) CCT (TRiC). is based largely on more consistent assigned by HUGO Gene Nomenclature Committee used National Center Biotechnology Information Entrez database genes. In addition...

The HUGO Gene Nomenclature Committee (HGNC) based at the European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI) assigns unique symbols and names to human genes. To date HGNC have assigned over 39,000 gene and, representing an increase of 5000 entries in past two years. As well as increasing size our database, we continued redesigning website http://www.genenames.org modified, updated improved many aspects site including a faster more powerful search, vastly HCOP tool REST service number ways users can...

The homeobox genes are a large and diverse group of genes, many which play important roles in the embryonic development animals. Increasingly, being compared between genomes an attempt to understand evolution animal development. Despite their importance, full diversity human has not previously been described. We have identified all pseudogenes euchromatic regions genome, finding unannotated, incorrectly annotated, unnamed, misnamed or misclassified pseudogenes. describe 300 loci, we divide...

The HUGO Gene Nomenclature Committee (HGNC) based at the European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI) assigns unique symbols and names to human genes. Currently HGNC database contains almost 40 000 approved gene symbols, over 19 of which represent protein-coding In addition naming genomic loci we manually curate genes into family sets on shared characteristics such as homology, function or phenotype. We have recently updated our resources introduced new improved visualizations can be seen...

The HUGO Gene Nomenclature Committee (HGNC) based at EMBL's European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI) assigns unique symbols and names to human genes. There are over 40 000 approved gene in our current database of which 19 for protein-coding Vertebrate (VGNC) was established 2016 assign standardized nomenclature line with vertebrate species that lack their own committees. VGNC initially assigned 15000 genes chimpanzee. We have extended this process other species, naming 14000 cow dog 13...

Abstract The HUGO Gene Nomenclature Committee (HGNC) based at EMBL’s European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI) assigns unique symbols and names to human genes. There are over 42,000 approved gene in our current database of which 19 000 for protein-coding While we still update placeholder problematic symbols, working towards stabilizing where possible; 2000 disease associated genes now marked as stable symbol reports. All data is available the HGNC website https://www.genenames.org....

The Kelch-like (KLHL) gene family encodes a group of proteins that generally possess BTB/POZ domain, BACK and five to six Kelch motifs. BTB domains facilitate protein binding dimerization. domain has no known function yet is functional importance since mutations in this are associated with disease. form tertiary structure β-propellers have role extracellular functions, morphology, other proteins. Presently, 42 KLHL genes been classified by the HUGO Gene Nomenclature Committee (HGNC), they...

The HUGO Gene Nomenclature Committee situated at the European Bioinformatics Institute assigns unique symbols and names to human genes. Since 2011, data within our database has expanded largely owing an increase in naming pseudogenes non-coding RNA genes, we now have >33 500 approved symbols. Our gene families groups also increased nearly 500, with ∼45% of entries associated least one family or group.

The human genome contains 25 genes coding for selenocysteine-containing proteins (selenoproteins). These are involved in a variety of functions, most notably redox homeostasis. Selenoprotein enzymes with known functions designated according to these functions: TXNRD1, TXNRD2, and TXNRD3 (thioredoxin reductases), GPX1, GPX2, GPX3, GPX4, GPX6 (glutathione peroxidases), DIO1, DIO2, DIO3 (iodothyronine deiodinases), MSRB1 (methionine sulfoxide reductase B1), SEPHS2 (selenophosphate synthetase...
