Mybl1 | Myb-related protein A; Transcription factor that specifically recognizes the sequence 5'-YAAC[GT]G-3'. Acts as a master regulator of male meiosis by promoting expression of piRNAs: activates expression of both piRNA precursor RNAs and expression of protein-coding genes involved in piRNA metabolism, such as PIWIL1. The piRNA metabolic process mediates the repression of transposable elements during meiosis by forming complexes composed of piRNAs and Piwi proteins and governs the methylation and subsequent repression of transposons, which is essential for the germline integrity. Transcrip [...] (751 aa) | ||||
Rdh11 | Retinol dehydrogenase 11; Retinol dehydrogenase with a clear preference for NADP. Displays high activity towards 9- cis, 11-cis and all-trans-retinol, and to a lesser extent on 13-cis- retinol (By similarity). Exhibits also reductive activity towards toxic lipid peroxidation products such as medium-chain aldehydes trans-2-nonenal, nonanal, and cis-6-nonenal. Has no dehydrogenase activity towards steroid. Seems to be required for homeostasis of retinol in liver and testis ; Belongs to the short-chain dehydrogenases/reductases (SDR) family. (316 aa) |
