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) | ||||
Fmnl3 | Formin-like protein 3; Plays a role in the regulation of cell morphology and cytoskeletal organization. Required in the control of cell shape and migration. Required for developmental angiogenesis. In this process, required for microtubule reorganization and for efficient endothelial cell elongation. In quiescent endothelial cells, triggers rearrangement of the actin cytoskeleton, but does not alter microtubule alignement. Belongs to the formin homology family. (1028 aa) |
