Pitx1 | Pituitary homeobox 1; Sequence-specific transcription factor that binds gene promoters and activates their transcription. May play a role in the development of anterior structures, and in particular, the brain and facies and in specifying the identity or structure of hindlimb. Can independently activate and synergize with PIT-1 on pituitary-specific target gene promoters, thus may subserve functions in generating both precursor and specific cell phenotypes in the anterior pituitary gland and in several other organs. Can activate pituitary transcription of the proopiomelanocortin gene. (315 aa) | ||||
Crlf1 | Cytokine receptor-like factor 1; In complex with CLCF1, forms a heterodimeric neurotropic cytokine that plays a crucial role during neuronal development (By similarity). Plays a role in the initiation and/or maintenance of suckling in neonatal mice. May also play a regulatory role in the immune system (By similarity). (425 aa) |
