Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • DNA

Shigeo Ohno mainly focuses on Cell biology, Molecular biology, Protein kinase C, Cell polarity and Biochemistry.

  • Enzyme
  • DNA

His primary areas of study are Cell biology, Phosphorylation, Cell polarity, Transcription factor and Cell growth. His Cell biology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as HEK 293 cells, Epithelial polarity and Cellular differentiation. The study of Phosphorylation is intertwined with the study of Kinase in a number of ways.

His work deals with themes such as DDB1, Ubiquitin, Ubiquitin ligase and CUL4A, which intersect with Cell polarity. His Transcription factor research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Nonsense-mediated decay, Plasma protein binding, Molecular biology, RNA-binding protein and Protein kinase domain. His biological study focuses on Protein kinase C.
