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) | ||||
Rcn3 | Reticulocalbin-3; Probable molecular chaperone assisting protein biosynthesis and transport in the endoplasmic reticulum. Required for the proper biosynthesis and transport of pulmonary surfactant- associated protein A/SP-A, pulmonary surfactant-associated protein D/SP-D and the lipid transporter ABCA3. By regulating both the proper expression and the degradation through the endoplasmic reticulum-associated protein degradation pathway of these proteins plays a crucial role in pulmonary surfactant homeostasis. Has an anti-fibrotic activity by negatively regulating the secretion of type [...] (328 aa) |
