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) | ||||
Chn1 | N-chimaerin; GTPase-activating protein for p21-rac and a phorbol ester receptor. May play an important role in neuronal signal-transduction mechanisms (By similarity). Involved in the assembly of neuronal locomotor circuits as a direct effector of EPHA4 in axon guidance. (459 aa) |
