Isl1 | Insulin gene enhancer protein ISL-1; DNA-binding transcriptional activator. Recognizes and binds to the consensus octamer binding site 5'-ATAATTAA-3' in promoter of target genes. Plays a fundamental role in the gene regulatory network essential for retinal ganglion cell (RGC) differentiation. Cooperates with the transcription factor POU4F2 to achieve maximal levels of expression of RGC target genes and RGC fate specification in the developing retina. Involved in the specification of motor neurons in cooperation with LHX3 and LDB1. Binds to insulin gene enhancer sequences (By similarity [...] (349 aa) | ||||
Spz1 | Spermatogenic leucine zipper protein 1; Transcription factor that binds to the DNA sequence 5'- CANNTG-3'(E box) and the G-box motif. Directly binds to a guanine-rich region of the PCNA promoter and up-regulates its expression which in turn induces cell transformation and tumor formation. May play an important role in the regulation of cell proliferation and differentiation during spermatogenesis. (378 aa) |
