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) | ||||
Nkx2-6 | Homeobox protein Nkx-2.6; Acts as a transcriptional activator (By similarity). In conjunction with NKX2-5, may play a role in both pharyngeal and cardiac embryonic development. (289 aa) |
