- A
pentameric protein is a
quaternary protein structure that
consists of five
protein subunits. Five sub-units come
together to form a channel. Each channel...
- from
cartilaginous fish (mainly sharks) is
predominantly pentameric.
Although the
pentameric form
predominates in mice and humans, the
hexameric form...
- receptors.
These receptors are
composed of five
protein subunits which form a
pentameric arrangement around a
central pore.
There are
usually 2
alpha subunits...
- C-reactive
protein (CRP) is an
annular (ring-shaped)
pentameric protein found in
blood plasma,
whose circulating concentrations rise in
response to inflammation...
