Tbp | TATA-box-binding protein; General transcription factor that functions at the core of the DNA-binding multiprotein factor TFIID. Binding of TFIID to the TATA box is the initial transcriptional step of the pre-initiation complex (PIC), playing a role in the activation of eukaryotic genes transcribed by RNA polymerase II. Component of a BRF2-containing transcription factor complex that regulates transcription mediated by RNA polymerase III. Component of the transcription factor SL1/TIF-IB complex, which is involved in the assembly of the PIC (pre-initiation complex) during RNA polymerase [...] (316 aa) | ||||
Tdgf1 | Teratocarcinoma-derived growth factor; GPI-anchored cell membrane protein involved in Nodal signaling. Cell-associated Tdgf1 acts as a Nodal coreceptor in cis. Shedding of Tdgf1 by Tmem8a modulates Nodal signaling by allowing soluble Tdgf1 to act as a Nodal coreceptor on other cells. Could play a role in the determination of the epiblastic cells that subsequently give rise to the mesoderm. (171 aa) |
