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) | ||||
Zdhhc16 | Palmitoyltransferase ZDHHC16; Palmitoyl acyltransferase that mediates palmitoylation of proteins such as PLN and ZDHHC6. Required during embryonic heart development and cardiac function, possibly by mediating palmitoylation of PLN, thereby affecting PLN phosphorylation and homooligomerization. Also required for eye development. Palmitoylates ZDHHC6, affecting the quaternary assembly of ZDHHC6, its localization, stability and function (By similarity). May play a role in DNA damage response. May be involved in apoptosis regulation. Involved in the proliferation of neural stem cells by re [...] (361 aa) |
