e/Tubby protein

Information
has gloss	eng: The tubby protein is an upstream cell signaling protein common to multicellular eukaryotes. The original tubby gene was identified in mice, but proteins that are homologous to tubby are known as "tubby-like proteins" (TULPs) and share a common and characteristic tertiary structure that consists of a beta barrel packed around an alpha helix in the central pore. The protein derives its name from its role in metabolism; mice with mutated tubby genes suffer from obesity.
