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) | ||||
Aida | Axin interactor, dorsalization-associated protein; Acts as a ventralizing factor during embryogenesis (By similarity). Inhibits axin-mediated JNK activation by binding axin and disrupting axin homodimerization. This in turn antagonizes a Wnt/beta- catenin-independent dorsalization pathway activated by AXIN/JNK- signaling. (305 aa) |
