Vdr | Vitamin D3 receptor; Nuclear receptor for calcitriol, the active form of vitamin D3 which mediates the action of this vitamin on cells (By similarity). Enters the nucleus upon vitamin D3 binding where it forms heterodimers with the retinoid X receptor/RXR (By similarity). The VDR-RXR heterodimers bind to specific response elements on DNA and activate the transcription of vitamin D3-responsive target genes (By similarity). Plays a central role in calcium homeostasis (By similarity). (422 aa) | ||||
Tac4 | Tachykinin-4; Tachykinins are active peptides which excite neurons, evoke behavioral responses, are potent vasodilators and secretagogues, and contract (directly or indirectly) many smooth muscles. Hemokinin induces plasma extravasation, mast cell degranulation, muscle contraction, salivary secretion and scratching behavior. Increases sperm motility. Induces potent analgesic effects and may play a role in pain modulation. Promotes survival of bone marrow B lineage cells and of cultured LPS-stimulated pre-B cells and may act as an autocrine factor required for B-cell survival and prolif [...] (128 aa) |
