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) | ||||
Mtmr9 | Myotubularin-related protein 9; Acts as an adapter for myotubularin-related phosphatases. Increases lipid phosphatase MTMR6 catalytic activity, specifically towards phosphatidylinositol 3,5-bisphosphate, and MTMR6 binding affinity for phosphorylated phosphatidylinositols (By similarity). Positively regulates lipid phosphatase MTMR7 catalytic activity. The formation of the MTMR6-MTMR9 complex, stabilizes both MTMR6 and MTMR9 protein levels (By similarity). Plays a role in the late stages of macropinocytosis possibly by regulating MTMR6-mediated dephosphorylation of phosphatidylinositol [...] (545 aa) |
