Setdb1 | Histone-lysine N-methyltransferase SETDB1; Histone methyltransferase that specifically trimethylates 'Lys-9' of histone H3. H3 'Lys-9' trimethylation represents a specific tag for epigenetic transcriptional repression by recruiting HP1 (CBX1, CBX3 and/or CBX5) proteins to methylated histones. Mainly functions in euchromatin regions, thereby playing a central role in the silencing of euchromatic genes. H3 'Lys- 9' trimethylation is coordinated with DNA methylation. Probably forms a complex with MBD1 and ATF7IP that represses transcription and couples DNA methylation and histone 'Lys-9' [...] (1308 aa) | ||||
Tac4 | Tachykinin-4; Tachykinins are active peptides which excite neurons, evoke behavioral responses, are potent vasodilators and secretagogues, and contract (directly or indirectly) many smooth muscles. Hemokinin induces plasma extravasation, mast cell degranulation, muscle contraction, salivary secretion and scratching behavior. Increases sperm motility. Induces potent analgesic effects and may play a role in pain modulation. Promotes survival of bone marrow B lineage cells and of cultured LPS-stimulated pre-B cells and may act as an autocrine factor required for B-cell survival and prolif [...] (128 aa) |
