Background: Dihydropyrimidinase Related Proteins (DRPs) have known homologous to the Collapsing Response Mediator Proteins (CRMPs). The DRP gene family has comprised four members, DRP 1, 2, 3, and 4, all out of which have considered to be involved in axonal outgrowth and path-finding.
Methods: The protein has extracted from tumor, normal brain tissues, and then the protein purity has evaluated by Bradford test and spectrophotometric methods. In this study, proteins has separated by Two-Dimensional Gel (2DG) electrophoresis method and then spots have analyzed and compared using statistical data and specific software (Progenesis Same Spots).Spots have identified by pH isoelectric, molecular weights and data banks.
Results: The 2D gel has shown 800 spots totally. Two spots have reported for DRP2, and one spot has reported for DRP3 in the human brain proteome, that have differed in pH isoelectric, and Molecular Weights values.
Conclusion: This protein family has involved in neuronal differentiation and axonal guidance, and abundantly influenced in the developing brain, but their expression persisted into adulthood. DRP2 has regulated by phosphorylation, Glycogen synthase kinase 3, regulate phosphorylation of DRP2 an inactive from, and induced neuronal polarity.

Metacaspases (MCA), are cysteine-dependent proteases closely related to caspases. In protozoa, MCA plays an important role in programmed cell death (PCD). In Trichomonas vaginalis, a kind of PCD that resembles apoptosis has been described, but the activators of this mechanism have not been demonstrated.

Scavenger receptors (SRs) serve as essential pattern recognition receptors in the innate immune system, playing multiple roles in the immunity of fish. They contribute to defense mechanisms against pathogenic infections through various pathways. However, research on the functions of SRs in the immune response of Spotted sea bass remains limited.

Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase 2 (GAPDH2) plays a vital role in cell growth, stress responses, and various cellular processes in organisms. However, its functional characterization in cyanobacteria, particularly in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803, remains largely unexplored, especially concerning its overexpression and RNA interference (RNAi) via double-stranded RNA (dsRNA).

Environmental pollution has been a significant concern for the last few years. The leather industry significantly contributes to the economy but is one of Bangladesh's most prominent polluting industries. It is also responsible for several severe diseases such as cancer, lung diseases, and heart diseases of leather workers because they use bleaching agents and chemicals, and these have numerous adverse effects on human health.
