Tfap2a | Transcription factor AP-2-alpha; Sequence-specific DNA-binding protein that interacts with inducible viral and cellular enhancer elements to regulate transcription of selected genes. AP-2 factors bind to the consensus sequence 5'-GCCNNNGGC-3' and activate genes involved in a large spectrum of important biological functions including proper eye, face, body wall, limb and neural tube development. They also suppress a number of genes including MCAM/MUC18, C/EBP alpha and MYC. AP-2-alpha is the only AP-2 protein required for early morphogenesis of the lens vesicle. Together with the CITED2 [...] (437 aa) | ||||
Rcn3 | Reticulocalbin-3; Probable molecular chaperone assisting protein biosynthesis and transport in the endoplasmic reticulum. Required for the proper biosynthesis and transport of pulmonary surfactant- associated protein A/SP-A, pulmonary surfactant-associated protein D/SP-D and the lipid transporter ABCA3. By regulating both the proper expression and the degradation through the endoplasmic reticulum-associated protein degradation pathway of these proteins plays a crucial role in pulmonary surfactant homeostasis. Has an anti-fibrotic activity by negatively regulating the secretion of type [...] (328 aa) |
