Cdk8 | Cyclin-dependent kinase 8; Component of the Mediator complex, a coactivator involved in regulated gene transcription of nearly all RNA polymerase II-dependent genes. Mediator functions as a bridge to convey information from gene- specific regulatory proteins to the basal RNA polymerase II transcription machinery. Mediator is recruited to promoters by direct interactions with regulatory proteins and serves as a scaffold for the assembly of a functional preinitiation complex with RNA polymerase II and the general transcription factors. Phosphorylates the CTD (C- terminal domain) of the l [...] (464 aa) | ||||
Taar5 | Trace amine-associated receptor 5; Olfactory receptor specific for trimethylamine, a trace amine enriched in the urine of male mice, playing a role in social behavior. Trimethylamine is present at high concentration in the urine of male mice after puberty and acts as an attractant. This receptor is probably mediated by the G(s)-class of G-proteins which activate adenylate cyclase. (337 aa) |
