Ascl1 | Achaete-scute homolog 1; Transcription factor that plays a key role in neuronal differentiation: acts as a pioneer transcription factor, accessing closed chromatin to allow other factors to bind and activate neural pathways. Directly binds the E box motif (5'-CANNTG- 3') on promoters and promotes transcription of neuronal genes. The combination of three transcription factors, ASCL1, POU3F2/BRN2 and MYT1L, is sufficient to reprogram fibroblasts and other somatic cells into induced neuronal (iN) cells in vitro. Plays a role at early stages of development of specific neural lineages in mo [...] (231 aa) | ||||
Sec14l1 | SEC14-like protein 1; May play a role in innate immunity by inhibiting the antiviral RIG-I signaling pathway. In this pathway, functions as a negative regulator of DDX58/RIG-I, the cytoplasmic sensor of viral nucleic acids. Prevents the interaction of DDX58 with MAVS/IPS1, an important step in signal propagation. May also regulate the SLC18A3 and SLC5A7 cholinergic transporters. (719 aa) |
