Arid3a | AT-rich interactive domain-containing protein 3A; Transcription factor involved in B-cell differentiation. Binds a VH promoter proximal site necessary for induced mu-heavy-chain transcription. Binds the minor groove of a restricted ATC sequence that is sufficient for nuclear matrix association. This sequence motif is present in matrix-associating regions (MARS) proximal to the promoter and flanking E mu. Activates E mu-driven transcription by binding these sites. May be involved in the control of cell cycle progression by the RB1/E2F1 pathway. (601 aa) | ||||
Tdgf1 | Teratocarcinoma-derived growth factor; GPI-anchored cell membrane protein involved in Nodal signaling. Cell-associated Tdgf1 acts as a Nodal coreceptor in cis. Shedding of Tdgf1 by Tmem8a modulates Nodal signaling by allowing soluble Tdgf1 to act as a Nodal coreceptor on other cells. Could play a role in the determination of the epiblastic cells that subsequently give rise to the mesoderm. (171 aa) |
