Irf2bp2 | Interferon regulatory factor 2-binding protein 2; Acts as a transcriptional corepressor in a IRF2-dependent manner, this repression is not mediated by histone deacetylase activities. Represses the NFAT1-dependent transactivation of NFAT- responsive promoters. Acts as a coactivator of VEGFA expression in cardiac and skeletal muscles. Plays a role in immature B-cell differentiation (By similarity). (570 aa) | ||||
Hmox1 | Heme oxygenase 1; Heme oxygenase cleaves the heme ring at the alpha methene bridge to form biliverdin. Biliverdin is subsequently converted to bilirubin by biliverdin reductase. Under physiological conditions, the activity of heme oxygenase is highest in the spleen, where senescent erythrocytes are sequestrated and destroyed. Exhibits cytoprotective effects since excess of free heme sensitizes cells to undergo apoptosis. (289 aa) |
