Xbp1 | X-box-binding protein 1, cytoplasmic form; Functions as a transcription factor during endoplasmic reticulum stress by regulating the unfolded protein response (UPR). Required for cardiac myogenesis and hepatogenesis during embryonic development and the development of secretory tissues such as exocrine pancreas and salivary gland. Involved in differentiation of B lymphocytes to plasma cells and production of immunoglobulins. Modulates the cellular response to ER stress in a PIK3R-dependent manner. Binds to the cis-acting X box present in the promoter regions of major histocompatibility [...] (267 aa) | ||||
Baat | Bile acid-CoA:amino acid N-acyltransferase; Catalyzes the amidation of bile acids (BAs) with the amino acid taurine. Selective for taurine conjugation of cholyl CoA and only taurine-conjugated BAs are found in bile. Amidation of BAs in the liver with taurine prior to their excretion into bile is an important biochemical event in bile acid metabolism (By similarity). This conjugation (or amidation) plays several important biological roles in that it promotes the secretion of BAs and cholesterol into bile and increases the detergent properties of BAs in the intestine, which facilitates l [...] (420 aa) |
