A binding protein is any

protein Proteins are large biomolecules and macromolecules that comprise one or more long chains of amino acid residues. Proteins perform a vast array of functions within organisms, including catalysing metabolic reactions, DNA replication, res ...

that acts as an agent to bind two or more molecules together. Examples include: * DNA-binding protein ** Single-strand binding protein ** Telomere-binding protein *

RNA-binding protein RNA-binding proteins (often abbreviated as RBPs) are proteins that bind to the double or single stranded RNA in cells and participate in forming ribonucleoprotein complexes. RBPs contain various structural motifs, such as RNA recognition motif ...

Nuclear cap-binding protein complex Nuclear cap-binding protein complex is a RNA-binding protein which binds to the 5' cap of pre-mRNA. The cap and nuclear cap-binding protein have many functions in mRNA biogenesis including splicing, 3'-end formation by stabilizing the interacti ...

CREB-binding protein Cyclic adenosine monophosphate Response Element Binding protein Binding Protein (CREB-binding protein), also known as CREBBP or CBP or KAT3A, is a coactivator encoded by the ''CREBBP'' gene in humans, located on chromosome 16p13.3. CBP has intri ...

TATA-binding protein The TATA-binding protein (TBP) is a general transcription factor that binds specifically to a DNA sequence called the TATA box. This DNA sequence is found about 30 base pairs upstream of the transcription start site in some eukaryotic gen ...

Actin-binding protein Actin-binding proteins (also known as ABPs) are proteins that bind to actin. This may mean ability to bind actin monomers, or polymers, or both. Many actin-binding proteins, including α-actinin, β-spectrin, dystrophin, utrophin and fimbrin, do t ...

Most actin binding proteins bind on the actin surface, despite having different functions and structures. *

Penicillin binding proteins Penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) are a group of proteins that are characterized by their affinity for and binding of penicillin. They are a normal constituent of many bacteria; the name just reflects the way by which the protein was disc ...

Retinol binding protein Retinol-binding proteins (RBP) are a family of proteins with diverse functions. They are carrier proteins that bind retinol. Assessment of retinol-binding protein is used to determine visceral protein mass in health-related nutritional studies. ...

Maltose-binding protein Maltose-binding protein (MBP) is a part of the maltose/maltodextrin system of ''Escherichia coli'', which is responsible for the uptake and efficient catabolism of maltodextrins. It is a complex regulatory and transport system involving many prot ...

Phosphatidylethanolamine binding protein 1 Phosphatidylethanolamine-binding protein 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ''PEBP1'' gene. Interactions Phosphatidylethanolamine binding protein 1 has been shown to interact with: * C-Raf, * MAP2K1, and * MAPK1 Mitogen-activat ...

Syntaxin binding protein 3 Syntaxin-binding protein 3 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ''STXBP3'' gene. Interactions Syntaxin binding protein 3 has been shown to interact with STX2 and STX4 Syntaxin-4 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ''S ...
