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) | ||||
Rab34 | Ras-related protein Rab-34; Protein transport. Plays a role in the maturation of phagosomes that engulf pathogens, such as S.aureus and Mycobacterium. Plays a role in the fusion of phagosomes with lysosomes (By similarity). Involved in the redistribution of lysosomes to the peri- Golgi region. Acts also as a positive regulator of hedgehog signaling and regulates ciliary function. (259 aa) |
