Single-cell protein. Single-cell proteins ( SCP) or microbial proteins [1] refer to edible unicellular microorganisms. The biomass or protein extract from pure or mixed cultures of algae, yeasts, fungi or bacteria may be used as an ingredient or a substitute for protein-rich foods, and is suitable for human consumption or as animal feeds.
SCP2. Non-specific lipid-transfer protein also known as sterol carrier protein 2 (SCP-2) or propanoyl-CoA C-acyltransferase is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SCP2 gene.
The SMC proteins have the potential to form a larger ring-like structure. The ability to create different architectural arrangements allows for various regulations of functions. Some of the possible configurations are double rings, filaments, and rosettes. Double rings are 4 SMC proteins bound at the heads and hinge, forming a ring.

SCAP is a regulatory protein that is required for the proteolytic cleavage of the sterol regulatory element-binding protein . SCAP is an integral membrane protein located in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). One of the cytosolic regions of SCAP contains a hexapeptide amino acid sequence, MELADL, that functions to detect cellular cholesterol. When ...
