Nfib | Nuclear factor 1 B-type; Transcriptional activator of GFAP, essential for proper brain development. Recognizes and binds the palindromic sequence 5'-TTGGCNNNNNGCCAA-3' present in viral and cellular promoters and in the origin of replication of adenovirus type 2. These proteins are individually capable of activating transcription and replication. (570 aa) | ||||
Spink2 | Serine protease inhibitor Kazal-type 2; As a strong inhibitor of acrosin, it is required for normal spermiogenesis. It probably hinders premature activation of proacrosin and other proteases, thus preventing the cascade of events leading to spermiogenesis defects. May be involved in the regulation of serine protease-dependent germ cell apoptosis. It also inhibits trypsin. (86 aa) |
