Myod1 | Myoblast determination protein 1; Acts as a transcriptional activator that promotes transcription of muscle-specific target genes and plays a role in muscle differentiation. Together with MYF5 and MYOG, co-occupies muscle-specific gene promoter core region during myogenesis. Induces fibroblasts to differentiate into myoblasts. Interacts with and is inhibited by the twist protein. This interaction probably involves the basic domains of both proteins. (318 aa) | ||||
Ucn | Urocortin; Acts in vitro to stimulate the secretion of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) (By similarity). Binds with high affinity to CRF receptor types 1, 2-alpha, and 2-beta (By similarity). Plays a role in the establishment of normal hearing thresholds. Reduces food intake and regulates ghrelin levels in gastric body and plasma (By similarity); Belongs to the sauvagine/corticotropin-releasing factor/urotensin I family. (122 aa) |
