Tfcp2l1 | Transcription factor CP2-like protein 1; Transcription factor that facilitates establishment and maintenance of pluripotency in embryonic stem cells (ESCs). With Klf2, acts as the major effector of self-renewal that mediates induction of pluripotency downstream of LIF/Stat3 and Wnt/beta-catenin signaling. Required for normal duct development in the salivary gland and kidney. Coordinates the development of the kidney collecting ducts intercalated (IC) and principal (PC) cells, which regulate acid- base and salt-water homeostasis, respectively. Regulates the expression of IC genes includ [...] (479 aa) | ||||
Ctsb | Cathepsin B heavy chain; Thiol protease which is believed to participate in intracellular degradation and turnover of proteins (By similarity). Cleaves matrix extracellular phosphoglycoprotein MEPE (By similarity). Involved in the solubilization of cross-linked TG/thyroglobulin in the thyroid follicle lumen. Has also been implicated in tumor invasion and metastasis (By similarity). Belongs to the peptidase C1 family. (339 aa) |
