Ctcfl | Transcriptional repressor CTCFL; Testis-specific DNA binding protein responsible for insulator function, nuclear architecture and transcriptional control, which probably acts by recruiting epigenetic chromatin modifiers. Plays a key role in gene imprinting in male germline, by participating in the establishment of differential methylation at the IGF2/H19 imprinted control region (ICR). Directly binds the unmethylated H19 ICR and recruits the PRMT7 methyltransferase, leading to methylate histone H4 'Arg-3' to form H4R3sme2. This probably leads to recruit de novo DNA methyltransferases a [...] (636 aa) | ||||
Ifna11 | Interferon alpha-11; Has antiviral and antiproliferative activities. Produced by macrophages and stimulates the production of two enzymes: a protein kinase and an oligoadenylate synthetase (By similarity). During viral infection, mediates antiviral effect, either directly by inducing interferon-stimulated genes, either indirectly through stimulation of natural killer cells enabling them to control viral replication.
