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) | ||||
Dstyk | Dual serine/threonine and tyrosine protein kinase; Acts as a positive regulator of ERK phosphorylation downstream of fibroblast growth factor-receptor activation. Involved in the regulation of both caspase-dependent apoptosis and caspase- independent cell death. In the skin, it plays a predominant role in suppressing caspase-dependent apoptosis in response to UV stress in a range of dermal cell types; Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. Ser/Thr protein kinase family. (927 aa) |
