Pax6 | Paired box protein Pax-6; Transcription factor with important functions in the development of the eye, nose, central nervous system and pancreas. Required for the differentiation of pancreatic islet alpha cells. Competes with PAX4 in binding to a common element in the glucagon, insulin and somatostatin promoters. Regulates specification of the ventral neuron subtypes by establishing the correct progenitor domains (By similarity). (436 aa) | ||||
Nkx2-6 | Homeobox protein Nkx-2.6; Acts as a transcriptional activator (By similarity). In conjunction with NKX2-5, may play a role in both pharyngeal and cardiac embryonic development. (289 aa) |
