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) | ||||
Sox15 | Protein SOX-15; Transcription factor that binds to DNA at the 5'-AACAATG-3' consensus sequence. Acts as a transcriptional activator and repressor. Binds synergistically with POU5F1 (OCT3/4) to gene promoters. Binds to the FOXK1 promoter and recruits FHL3, resulting in transcriptional activation of FOXK1 which leads to myoblast proliferation. Acts as an inhibitor of myoblast differentiation via transcriptional repression which leads to down-regulation of the muscle-specific genes MYOD and MYOG. Involved in trophoblast giant cell differentiation via enhancement of HAND1 transcriptional a [...] (231 aa) |
