Nkx3-1 | Homeobox protein Nkx-3.1; Transcription factor, which binds preferentially the consensus sequence 5'-TAAGT[AG]-3' and can behave as a transcriptional repressor (By similarity). Plays an important role in normal prostate development, regulating proliferation of glandular epithelium and in the formation of ducts in prostate. Acts as a tumor suppressor controlling prostate carcinogenesis, as shown by the ability to suppress growth and tumorigenicity of prostate carcinoma cells. Plays a role in the formation of minor salivary glands (particularly palatine and lingual glands). Essential for [...] (237 aa) | ||||
Jazf1 | Juxtaposed with another zinc finger protein 1; Acts as a transcriptional corepressor of orphan nuclear receptor NR2C2 (By similarity). Inhibits expression of the gluconeogenesis enzyme PCK2 through inhibition of NR2C2 activity. Also involved in transcriptional activation of NAMPT by promoting expression of PPARA and PPARD. Plays a role in lipid metabolism by suppressing lipogenesis, increasing lipolysis and decreasing lipid accumulation in adipose tissue. Plays a role in glucose homeostasis by improving glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity. (243 aa) |
