Endoplasmic reticulum protein 27kDa (ERP27) is a widely expressed protein which localizes to the ER and may act as a protease, protein disulfide isomerase, thiol-disulfide oxidase or phospholipase. ERP27 doesn’t contain a CXXC active site motif indicating that it is a catalytically redox-inactive member of the protein disulfide isomerase family.

Endothelial sialomucin (Endomucin) interferes with the assembly of focal adhesion complexes and inhibits interaction between cells and the extracellular matrix. Endomucin is expressed in the heart, kidney and lung.

Tyrosine Kinase ErbB-4 (ErbB4) is a receptor tyrosine kinase that is a member of the epidermal growth factor receptor family whose members play a role as receptors for the EGF family of growth factors. ErbB4is a single-pass type I transmembrane protein with multiple furin-like cysteine rich domains,PDZ domain binding motif, a tyrosine kinase domain and a phosphotidylinositol-3 kinase binding site. ErbB4binds its ligands with low affinity and is expressed in normal skeletal muscle, heart, pituitary, brain and some breast carcinomas. Monomeric ErbB4 takes part in neuronal development and development of the heart and cancer.

EPH Receptor A2 (EPHA2) is a member of the ephrin receptor subfamily of the protein-tyrosine kinase family. EPHA2 is a protein which binds ephrin-A ligands. EPH and EPH-related receptors are associated with mediating developmental events, particularly in the nervous system. Receptors in the EPH subfamily normally have a single kinase domain and an extracellular region containing a Cys-rich domain and 2 fibronectin type III repeats. The ephrin receptors are divided into two groups based on the similarity of their extracellular domain sequences and their affinities for binding ephrin-A and ephrin-B ligands. EPHA2 gene mutations are the cause of certain genetically-related cataract disorders.

Enhancer of rudimentary homolog (ERH) is a ubiquitously expressed transcriptional coregulator which is highly conserved among eukaryotes. ERH may have a role in cell cycle regulation and pyrimidine biosynthesis. ERH has two casein kinase II phosphorylation sites which are thought to upset the ability of ERH to dimerize.

Prothrombin Complex Concentrate (PCC) is a combination of several blood clotting factors II, VII, IX and X. PCC is used in the treatment of the congenital bleeding disorders associated with Factors II, VII, IX, and X deficiencies. PCC reverses the effect of warfarin (a coumarin anti-coagulant) and is used in cases of significant bleeding in patients with a coagulopathy, for example, gastrointestinal haemorrhage or intracranial haemorrhage. The PCC is also extensively used in treating acquired coagulation abnormalities secondary to vitamin K deficiency, warfarin ingestion, and various types of liver disease.
Hepatitis, anaphylaxis and thrombosis have been reported as complications of prothrombin complex concentrates administration.

EXOSC4 is a Non-catalytic component of the RNA exosome complex that has 3'->5' exoribonuclease activity and takes part in several cellular RNA processing and degradation procedures. In the nucleus, the RNA exosome complex contributes to accurate maturation of stable RNA species such as rRNA, snRNA and snoRNA, in the removal of RNA processing by-products and non-coding 'pervasive' transcripts, like antisense RNA species and promoter-upstream transcripts (PROMPTs), and of mRNAs with processing deficiencies, thus controlling or excluding their export to the cytoplasm. Diseases related with EXOSC4 include hepatitis a, and mouth disease.

ErbB3, also called Her3 (human epidermal growth factor receptor 3), is a type I membrane glycoprotein that is a member of the ErbB family of tyrosine kinase receptors. ErbB family members serve as receptors for the epidermal growth factor (EGF) family of growth factors. Among ErbB family members, ErbB3 is unique in that it contains a defective kinase domain. ErbB3 is expressed in keratinocytes, melanocytes, skeletal muscle cells, embryonic myoblasts and Schwann cells. Monomeric ErbB3 serves as a low affinity receptor for the heregulins (HRG). ErbB3 can induce specific antibody production in vivo, hence to inhibit tumor cell growth. ErbB-3 can be used to treat early, medium and advanced or post-operative breast cancer with over-expression of ErbB2. According to its mechanism of action, ErbB3 is classified as a therapeutic for cancer.

Sclerostin Domain Containing 1 (SOSTDC1) belongs to the sclerostin family and an N-glycosylated, secreted protein with a C-terminal cystine knot-like domain. The SOSTDC1 protein acts as a bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) antagonist. Specifically, SOSTDC1 directly associates with BMPs, prohibiting them from binding their receptors, thus regulating BMP signaling throughout cellular proliferation, differentiation, and programmed cell death. SOSTDC1 may also be involved in the onset of endometrial receptivity for implantation/sensitization for the decidual cell reaction Enhances Wnt signaling and hinders TGF-beta signaling. In addition, SOSTDC1 directly antagonizes the activity of BMP2, BMP4, BMP6 and BMP7 in a dose-dependent manner.
