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) | ||||
Rp1l1 | Retinitis pigmentosa 1-like 1 protein; Required for the differentiation of photoreceptor cells. Plays a role in the organization of outer segment of rod and cone photoreceptors. (1859 aa) |
