Hand2 | Heart- and neural crest derivatives-expressed protein 2; Essential for cardiac morphogenesis, particularly for the formation of the right ventricle and of the aortic arch arteries. Required for vascular development and regulation of angiogenesis, possibly through a VEGF signaling pathway. Plays also an important role in limb development, particularly in the establishment of anterior- posterior polarization, acting as an upstream regulator of sonic hedgehog (SHH) induction in the limb bud. Is involved in the development of branchial arches, which give rise to unique structures in the he [...] (217 aa) | ||||
Slc38a4 | Sodium-coupled neutral amino acid transporter 4; Sodium-dependent amino acid transporter. Mediates electrogenic symport of neutral amino acids and sodium ions. Has a broad specificity, with a preference for Ala, followed by Ser, His, Gly, Cys, Asn, Thr, Pro, Gln and Met. May mediate sodium-independent transport of cationic amino acids, such as Arg and Lys. Amino acid uptake is pH-dependent, with lower transport activities at pH 6.5, intermediate at pH 7.0 and highest between pH 7.5 and 8.5. Belongs to the amino acid/polyamine transporter 2 family.
