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) | ||||
Col8a1 | Collagen alpha-1(VIII) chain; Macromolecular component of the subendothelium. Major component of the Descemet's membrane (basement membrane) of corneal endothelial cells. Also component of the endothelia of blood vessels. Necessary for migration and proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells and thus, has a potential role in the maintenance of vessel wall integrity and structure, in particular in atherogenesis.
