A binding protein is any protein that acts as an agent to bind two or more molecules together.

Examples include:

• DNA-binding protein
  • Single-strand binding protein
  • Telomere-binding protein
• RNA-binding protein
  • Poly(A)-binding protein
  • Nuclear cap-binding protein complex
• CREB-binding protein
• Calcium-binding protein
  • Calcium-binding protein 1
  • S100 calcium-binding protein A1
• TATA-binding protein
• Actin-binding protein Most actin binding proteins bind on the actin surface, despite having different functions and structures.
• Penicillin binding proteins
• Retinol binding protein
  • Retinol binding protein 4
• EP300
• Binding immunoglobulin protein
• Odorant binding protein
• Lipopolysaccharide-binding protein
• C4b-binding protein
• Rap GTP-binding protein
• Calmodulin-binding proteins
• Iron-binding proteins
• Thyroxine-binding proteins
• Folate-binding protein
• Sterol regulatory element-binding protein
• GTP-binding protein
• Retinaldehyde-binding protein 1
• Ccaat-enhancer-binding proteins
• Androgen-binding protein
• Maltose-binding protein
• Phosphatidylethanolamine binding protein 1
• Syntaxin binding protein 3
• Insulin-like growth factor-binding protein
• Methyl-CpG-binding domain protein 2
• Growth hormone-binding protein
• Vitamin D-binding protein
• Syntaxin binding protein 2
• Oxysterol-binding protein
