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) | ||||
Gulo | L-gulonolactone oxidase; Oxidizes L-gulono-1,4-lactone to hydrogen peroxide and L- xylo-hexulonolactone which spontaneously isomerizes to L-ascorbate. Belongs to the oxygen-dependent FAD-linked oxidoreductase family. (440 aa) |
