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) | ||||
Aspscr1 | Tether containing UBX domain for GLUT4; Enhances VCP methylation catalyzed by VCPKMT (By similarity). Tethering protein that sequesters GLUT4-containing vesicles in the cytoplasm in the absence of insulin. Modulates the amount of GLUT4 that is available at the cell surface. (550 aa) |
