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) | ||||
Ugt1a6a | UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 1-6; UDPGT is of major importance in the conjugation and subsequent elimination of potentially toxic xenobiotics and endogenous compounds. Conjugates small planar phenolic molecules such as 4- nitrophenol, 1-naphthol, and 4-methylumbelliferone. The bulky phenol 4- hydroxybiphenyl, androgens and estrogens are not substrates. 2- hydroxybiphenyl is an excellent substrate; Belongs to the UDP-glycosyltransferase family. (531 aa) |
