Hsf1 | Heat shock factor protein 1; Functions as a stress-inducible and DNA-binding transcription factor that plays a central role in the transcriptional activation of the heat shock response (HSR), leading to the expression of a large class of molecular chaperones heat shock proteins (HSPs) that protect cells from cellular insults' damage. In unstressed cells, is present in a HSP90-containing multichaperone complex that maintains it in a non- DNA-binding inactivated monomeric form. Upon exposure to heat and other stress stimuli, undergoes homotrimerization and activates HSP gene transcriptio [...] (503 aa) | ||||
Kiss1r | KiSS-1 receptor; Receptor for metastin (kisspeptin-52 or kp-52), a C- terminally amidated peptide of KiSS1. KiSS1 is a metastasis suppressor protein. Activation of the receptor inhibits cell proliferation and cell migration, key characteristics of tumor metastasis. The receptor is essential for normal gonadotropin-released hormone physiology and for puberty. The hypothalamic KiSS1/KISS1R system is a pivotal factor in central regulation of the gonadotropic axis at puberty and in adulthood. Analysis of the transduction pathways activated by the receptor identifies coupling to phospholipa [...] (396 aa) |
