Asxl3 | Putative Polycomb group protein ASXL3; Putative Polycomb group (PcG) protein. PcG proteins act by forming multiprotein complexes, which are required to maintain the transcriptionally repressive state of homeotic genes throughout development. PcG proteins are not required to initiate repression, but to maintain it during later stages of development. They probably act via methylation of histones, rendering chromatin heritably changed in its expressibility (By similarity). (2204 aa) | ||||
Acot4 | Peroxisomal succinyl-coenzyme A thioesterase; Acyl-CoA thioesterases are a group of enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of acyl-CoAs to the free fatty acid and coenzyme A (CoASH), providing the potential to regulate intracellular levels of acyl-CoAs, free fatty acids and CoASH. In contrast to human peroxisomal succinyl-coenzyme A thioesterase/ACOT4, mouse ACOT4 is essentially a succinyl-CoA thioesterase with no activity with medium to long chain saturated acyl- CoAs and with a low activity toward glutaryl-CoA. Belongs to the C/M/P thioester hydrolase family. (421 aa) |
