Sox3 | Transcription factor SOX-3; Transcription factor required during the formation of the hypothalamo-pituitary axis. May function as a switch in neuronal development. Keeps neural cells undifferentiated by counteracting the activity of proneural proteins and suppresses neuronal differentiation. Required also within the pharyngeal epithelia for craniofacial morphogenesis. Controls a genetic switch in male development. Is necessary for initiating male sex determination by directing the development of supporting cell precursors (pre-Sertoli cells) as Sertoli rather than granulosa cells. (450 aa) | ||||
Ip6k2 | Inositol hexakisphosphate kinase 2; Converts inositol hexakisphosphate (InsP6) to diphosphoinositol pentakisphosphate (InsP7/PP-InsP5) (By similarity). May play a role in the regulation of Na(+)-dependent phosphate cotransport, possibly via its role in diphosphoinositol pentakisphosphate (InsP7/PP-InsP5) biosynthesis (By similarity). (448 aa) |
