Crx | Cone-rod homeobox protein; Transcription factor that binds and transactivates the sequence 5'-TAATC[CA]-3' which is found upstream of several photoreceptor-specific genes, including the opsin genes. Acts synergistically with other transcription factors, such as NRL, RORB and RAX, to regulate photoreceptor cell-specific gene transcription. Essential for the maintenance of mammalian photoreceptors. (323 aa) | ||||
Nxnl2 | Nucleoredoxin-like protein 2; May be involved in the maintenance of both the function and the viability of sensory neurons, including photoreceptors and olfactory neurons. In the retina, isoform 1 may be required for rod function and isoform 2 for cone viability and function. Belongs to the nucleoredoxin family. (156 aa) |
