Gli3 | Transcriptional repressor GLI3R; Has a dual function as a transcriptional activator and a repressor of the sonic hedgehog (Shh) pathway, and plays a role in limb development. The full-length GLI3 form (GLI3FL) after phosphorylation and nuclear translocation, acts as an activator (GLI3A) while GLI3R, its C-terminally truncated form, acts as a repressor. A proper balance between the GLI3 activator and the repressor GLI3R, rather than the repressor gradient itself or the activator/repressor ratio gradient, specifies limb digit number and identity. In concert with TRPS1, plays a role in re [...] (1583 aa) | ||||
Akna | Microtubule organization protein AKNA; Centrosomal protein that plays a key role in cell delamination by regulating microtubule organization. Required for the delamination and retention of neural stem cells from the subventricular zone during neurogenesis. Also regulates the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition in other epithelial cells. Acts by increasing centrosomal microtubule nucleation and recruiting nucleation factors and minus-end stabilizers, thereby destabilizing microtubules at the adherens junctions and mediating constriction of the apical endfoot. In addition, may also act [...] (1404 aa) |
