Nkx6-1 | Homeobox protein Nkx-6.1; Transcription factor which binds to specific A/T-rich DNA sequences in the promoter regions of a number of genes. Required for the development of insulin-producing beta cells in the islets of Langerhans at the secondary transition. Involved in transcriptional regulation of the insulin gene. Together with NKX2-2 and IRX3, restricts the generation of motor neurons to the appropriate region of the neural tube. Belongs to the class II proteins of neuronal progenitor factors, which are induced by SHH signals. (365 aa) | ||||
Klf6 | Krueppel-like factor 6; Transcriptional activator. Binds a GC box motif. Could play a role in B-cell growth and development (By similarity); Belongs to the krueppel C2H2-type zinc-finger protein family. (318 aa) |
