Maff | Transcription factor MafF; Since they lack a putative transactivation domain, the small Mafs behave as transcriptional repressors when they dimerize among themselves. However, they seem to serve as transcriptional activators by dimerizing with other (usually larger) basic-zipper proteins, such as NFE2L1/NRF1, and recruiting them to specific DNA-binding sites. Interacts with the upstream promoter region of the oxytocin receptor gene. May be a transcriptional enhancer in the up-regulation of the oxytocin receptor gene at parturition. (156 aa) | ||||
Rilpl2 | RILP-like protein 2; Involved in cell shape and neuronal morphogenesis, positively regulating the establishment and maintenance of dendritic spines (By similarity). Plays a role in cellular protein transport, including protein transport away from primary cilia. May function via activation of RAC1 and PAK1 (By similarity). Belongs to the RILPL family. (197 aa) |
