Generic protein structure example

Centrosomal protein of 57 kDa is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CEP57 gene.[1][2] It is also known as translokin.

Translokin binds basic fibroblast growth factor (FGF2; MIM 134920) and mediates its nuclear translocation and mitogenic activity (Bossard et al., 2003).[supplied by OMIM][2]
