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) | ||||
Kif21a | Kinesin-like protein KIF21A; Microtubule-binding motor protein probably involved in neuronal axonal transport. In vitro, has a plus-end directed motor activity; Belongs to the TRAFAC class myosin-kinesin ATPase superfamily. Kinesin family. (1672 aa) |
