Atf4 | Cyclic AMP-dependent transcription factor ATF-4; Transcriptional activator. Binds the cAMP response element (CRE) (consensus: 5'-GTGACGT[AC][AG]-3'), a sequence present in many viral and cellular promoters. Binds to asymmetric CRE's as a heterodimer and to palindromic CRE's as a homodimer. Cooperates with FOXO1 in osteoblasts to regulate glucose homeostasis through suppression of beta-cell production and decrease in insulin production. Regulates the induction of DDIT3/CHOP and asparagine synthetase (ASNS) in response to ER stress. In concert with DDIT3/CHOP, activates the transcription [...] (349 aa) | ||||
Vmp1 | Vacuole membrane protein 1; Stress-induced protein that, when overexpressed, promotes formation of intracellular vacuoles followed by cell death (By similarity). May be involved in the cytoplasmic vacuolization of acinar cells during the early stage of acute pancreatitis. Involved in cell-cell adhesion. Plays an essential role in formation of cell junctions. Plays a role in the initial stages of the autophagic process through its interaction with BECN1. Required for autophagosome formation (By similarity); Belongs to the VMP1 family. (406 aa) |
