Zfp322a | Zinc finger protein 322; Transcriptional activator. Important for maintenance of pluripotency in embryonic stem cells. Binds directly to the POU5F1 distal enhancer and the NANOG proximal promoter, and enhances expression of both genes. Can also bind to numerous other gene promoters and regulates expression of many other pluripotency factors, either directly or indirectly. Promotes inhibition of MAPK signaling during embryonic stem cell differentiation. (410 aa) | ||||
Trp53 | Cellular tumor antigen p53; Acts as a tumor suppressor in many tumor types; induces growth arrest or apoptosis depending on the physiological circumstances and cell type. Involved in cell cycle regulation as a trans-activator that acts to negatively regulate cell division by controlling a set of genes required for this process. One of the activated genes is an inhibitor of cyclin-dependent kinases. Apoptosis induction seems to be mediated either by stimulation of BAX and FAS antigen expression, or by repression of Bcl-2 expression. Its pro-apoptotic activity is activated via its intera [...] (390 aa) |
