Agrin is the key inducer of postsynaptic differentiations at the neuromuscular junction. The multidomain heparan sulfate proteoglycan is mediating via its N-terminal segment the interaction with laminin, whereas the C-terminal portion is responsible for Dystroglycan binding and clustering of the Acetylcholine receptor. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) are known to play essential roles in matrix remodeling, degradation and regulation of extracellular signaling networks.

Portal which provides access to scientific databases and software tools (i.e., resources) in different areas of life sciences including proteomics, genomics, phylogeny, systems biology, population genetics, transcriptomics etc. It contains resources from many different SIB groups as well as external institutions.
View all literature mentionsSoftware tool to calculate various physicochemical parameters for given protein stored in Swiss-Prot or TrEMBL or for user entered protein sequence. Protein can either be pecified as Swiss-Prot/TrEMBL accession number or ID, or in form of raw sequence. Computed parameters include molecular weight, theoretical pI, amino acid composition, atomic composition, extinction coefficient, estimated half-life, instability index, aliphatic index and grand average of hydropathicity.
