Prdm15 | PR domain zinc finger protein 15; Sequence-specific DNA-binding transcriptional regulator. Plays a role as a molecular node in a transcriptional network regulating embryonic development and cell fate decision. Stimulates the expression of upstream key transcriptional activators and repressors of the Wnt/beta-catenin and MAPK/ERK pathways, respectively, that are essential for naive pluripotency and self-renewal maintenance of embryonic stem cells (ESCs). Specifically promotes SPRY1 and RSPO1 transcription activation through recognition and direct binding of a specific DNA sequence in th [...] (1174 aa) | ||||
Izumo1 | Izumo sperm-egg fusion protein 1; Essential sperm cell-surface protein required for fertilization by acting as a ligand for IZUMO1R/JUNO receptor on egg. The IZUMO1:IZUMO1R/JUNO interaction is a necessary adhesion event between sperm and egg that is required for fertilization but is not sufficient for cell fusion. The ligand-receptor interaction probably does not act as a membrane 'fusogen'. (397 aa) |
