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) | ||||
Lrit3 | Leucine-rich repeat, immunoglobulin-like domain and transmembrane domain-containing protein 3; Plays a role in the synapse formation and synaptic transmission between cone photoreceptor cells and retinal bipolar cells. Required for normal transmission of a light-evoked stimulus from the cone photoreceptor cells to the ON-bipolar cells and ON-ganglion cells in the inner retina. Required in retinal ON-bipolar cells for normal localization of the cation channel TRPM1 at dendrite tips. Seems to play a specific role in synaptic contacts made by ON-bipolar cells with cone photoreceptor pedic [...] (681 aa) |
